[izarf]

New submission from izarf <izarf.mail at gmail.com>:

it is impossible to retrieve a latin-1 encoded string from sqlite3 database.

How to:
1. create a new db.
2. create a new table with text field.
3. insert a row with data like "åäö"

4. select all rows from table
5. write:
     for data in cursor1:
           var = data

you will now get an error explaining something like ascii couldn't decode
