Encoding error after converting application into executable using py2exe and getting them from mysql (pySide, Python 3) -

i have application runs if run in directly python. however, after turn executable using py2exe encoding "breaks".

i run code gets string "comitê" mysql server. if run code:

frommysql = getfrommysql() local = "comitê" print(frommysql) print(local) 

and save 2 files, 1 running directly python, other after compiling py2exe, following results:

from python:     using sublime text 3 -> reopen encoding -> utf-8:         comit?         comit?     using sublime text 3 -> reopen encoding -> western (iso 8859-1):         comitê         comitê  after py2exe:     using sublime text 3 -> reopen encoding -> utf-8:         comit?         comitê      using sublime text 3 -> reopen encoding -> western (iso 8859-1):         comitê         comitê 

it's worth noting in beginning of files have:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- 

the code (removing unimportant bits):
