Title*

Body*

I have a mysql db. I set charset to utf8;

 ...
 PRIMARY KEY (`username`)
 ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 | 
 ...
 
I connect to db in python with MySQLdb;

 conn = MySQLdb.connect(host = "localhost",
 passwd = "12345",
 db = "db",
 charset = 'utf8',
 use_unicode=True)


When I execute a query, response is decoding with "windows-1254". Example response;

 curr = conn.cursor(MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
 select_query = 'SELECT * FROM users'
 curr.execute(select_query)
 
 for ret in curr.fetchall():
 username = ret["username"]
 print "repr-username; ", repr(username)
 print "username; "username.encode("utf-8")
 ...

output is;

 repr-username; u'\xc5\u0178\xc3\xbckr\xc3\xbc\xc3\xa7a\xc4\u0178l\xc3\xbcli'
 username; ÅŸÃ¼krÃ¼Ã§aÄŸlÃ¼li


When I print username with "windows-1254" it works fine;

 ...
 print "repr-username; ", repr(username)
 print "username; ", username.encode("windows-1254")
 ...

Output is;

 repl-username; u'\xc5\u0178\xc3\xbckr\xc3\xbc\xc3\xa7a\xc4\u0178l\xc3\xbcli'
 username; şükrüçağlüli

When I try it with some other characters like cyrillic alphabet, decodeding is changed dinamicly. How can I prevent it?
