in the Python 2.6 PDF-documentation, the example followong the
"text_factory is incomplete, because it is cut off at the right hand
side of the text. HTML-version: http://docs.python.org/library/sqlite3.html

I include the relevant line from the HTML-version:
cur.execute("select ?", ("this is latin1 and would normally create  
errors" + u"\xe4\xf6\xfc".encode("latin1"),)) . 

This line should probably be split, so the text cannot run off at the
right edge.
