What's the current view on the best object class to use for
Binary/BLOB objects? PEP-249 recommends buffer, but buffer appears
deprecated. MySQLdb used to strings, but currently uses array. mxODBC
appears to use strings. psycopg appears to use buffer.

Take a look at this for additional comments:

Anyone got any strong feelings about this?
