試してみましたか、このクエリはset names utf8;
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import MySQLdb
mystring = "Bientôt l'été"
myinsert = [{ "name": mystring.encode("utf-8").strip()[:65535], "id": 1 }]
con = MySQLdb.connect('localhost', 'abc', 'def', 'ghi');
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute("set names utf8;") # <--- add this line,
sql = "INSERT INTO 'MyTable' ( 'my_id', 'my_name' ) VALUES ( %(id)s, %(name)s ) ; "
cur.executemany( sql, myinsert )
con.commit()
if con: con.close()
