In Python 2 it will be in the connection encoding; specifically we
receive the 8-bit message from the backend and we just create a Python
string out of that data, without re-checking the data is valid in that
encoding (we trust the database).

In Python 3 it is unicode decoded with the connection encoding (with
"replace" error handling, because we trust the database, yet we don't
want to die if things have gone really awry).
