[PyQt] Storing QString/Unicode in Sqlite Database

[Tayfun Kayhan]

Hi all, I wanna get texts from some QLineEdits' and QComboBoxes and store them in Sqlite DB. But I keep gettin the following error, i also tried using following commands that did not worked : 

self.info = some_lineEdit.text()
self.info = str(u"%s" % some_lineEdit.text()) 
self.info = some_lineEdit.text().toUtf8() 
self.info = _fromUtf8(some_lineEdit.text()) 


sqlite3.ProgrammingError: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your application to Unicode strings.


Everything works fine when i don't enter unicode strings,  so problem is exactly the unicode. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
