sqlalchemy mysql配置中怎么设置utf8,sqlalchemy，将MySQL字符集设置为`create_engine`参数...

I create sqlalchemy engine connecting to MySQL database. I want to specify charset as create_engine argument.

If I use create_engine liKe that:

create_engine('mysql+mysqldb://pd:pd@localhost/pd?charset=utf8')

then all is fine. But, when I use it like that:

create_engine('mysql+mysqldb://pd:pd@localhost/pd', charset='utf8')

then I get the following error:

TypeError: Invalid argument(s) 'charset' sent to create_engine(), using

configuration MySQLDialect_mysqldb/QueuePool/Engine. Please check that

the keyword arguments are appropriate for this combination of components.

According to the documentation, this usage should be possible:

The string form of the URL is

dialect+driver://user:password@host/dbname[?key=value..] ...
