    <p>Assuming <code>connect()</code> is a function from some <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249" rel="nofollow">DB-API 2.0</a> compatible database interface (like the built-in <code>sqlite3</code>, or the most popular <code>mysql</code> interface), <code>for (data) in cursor:</code> is iterating <code>Row</code> objects, not strings.</p> <p>When you print it out, you're effectively printing <code>str(data)</code> (by passing it to a <code>%s</code> format). If you want to encode the same thing, you have to encode <code>str(data)</code>.</p> <p>However, a better way to do it is to handle the rows as rows (of one column) in the first place, instead of relying on <code>str</code> to do what you want.</p> <p>PS, if you were trying to rely on tuple unpacking to make <code>data</code> the first element of each row, you're doing it wrong:</p> <pre><code>for (data) in cursor: </code></pre> <p>… is identical to:</p> <pre><code>for data in cursor: </code></pre> <p>If you want a one-element <code>tuple</code>, you need a comma:</p> <pre><code>for data, in cursor: </code></pre> <p>(You can also add the parens if you want, but they still don't make a difference either way.)</p> <p>Specifically, iterating the cursor will call the optional <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#iter" rel="nofollow"><code>__iter__</code></a> method, which returns the cursor itself, then loop calling the <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#next" rel="nofollow"><code>next</code></a> method on it, which does the same thing as calling <code>fetchone()</code> until the result set is exhausted, and <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#id20" rel="nofollow"><code>fetchone</code></a> is documented to return "a single sequence", whose type isn't defined. In most implementations, that's a special row type, like <a href="http://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html#row-objects" rel="nofollow"><code>sqlite3.Row</code></a>, which can be accessed as if it were a <code>tuple</code> but has special semantics for things like printing in tabular format, allowing by-name access, etc.</p>

    1. COYeah... it was the comma after "data" in the for-loop. Never thought to try that because it's the exact *wrong* thing to do in Perl, which is more of my weapon of choice.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
