I can implement something that is smarter than always converting to unicode/string, and that is, I can ask the SQLite engine which type a column has, but the limitation is it will only return its internal types: #define SQLITEINTEGER 1 #define SQLITEFLOAT 2 #define SQLITETEXT 3 #define SQLITEBLOB 4 #define SQLITENULL 5

I think that would be a neat idea as a default. Still, I want what the MySQL python binding has -- a way to provide a mapping of column names to converters. IIRC, the interface for that was a bit clunky, but it was definitely usable, so it might be better to be consistent, than better. :)
