There may be special Python functions, but you can use the following
SQL statement: SET client_encoding TO 'WIN1250'

And what happening what DB recognize not win1250 character in SQL?
Is it converted to "?" or an exception dropped?
And if the UTF db contains non win1250 character?
Is it replaced in result with "?" or some exception dropped?
