在用python的MySQLdb库插入数据时，出现了UnicodeEncodeError:'latin-1' codec can't encode character ...错误提示，网上搜索了下，在stackoverflow上发现了个解决办法，分享给大家，避免在这上面浪费太多时间。

This is because MySQLdb normally tries to encode everythin to latin-1. This can be fixed by executing the following commands right after you've etablished the connection:

错误原因是由于MySQLdb会把数据编码为latin-1，为了解决这一问题，可以在建立数据库连接之后写上以下代码：

db.set_character_set('utf8')
dbc.execute('SET NAMES utf8;')
dbc.execute('SET CHARACTER SET utf8;')
dbc.execute('SET character_set_connection=utf8;')

"db" is the result of MySQLdb.connect, and "dbc" is the result of db.cursor().

“db”是建立的连接对象，dbc是连接的cursor对象。
