Comment:

 On further investigation, I think this is not a bug.

 If we change the last part of your test to:

     {{{
 >>> f = open("a2.out", "wb")
 >>> f.write(r[1])
 }}}

 Everything works.  I don't think it is a bug that the file needs to be
 opened in binary mode to write out binary data.  If the data was suitable
 for writing in text mode, then you wouldn't be storing it as binary in the
 database.

 If you do wish to treat the data as a string, you can explicitly cast it
 with `str(r[1])`.
