Summary: "sqlite3.ProgrammingError: You must not use 8-bit
bytestrings ..." error
Product: gPodder
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: low
Component: Application
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
A week or two ago, I updated/installed some package on my system and now
gpodder will now no longer start.
Instead, it dies with this error (and warnings):
./bin/gpodder --local

sqlite3.ProgrammingError: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a
text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It
is highly recommended that you instead just switch your application to Unicode
strings.
I was hoping the problem would just go away on its own but unfortunately that
is not the case and I am missing my gPodder.
I am running Ubuntu 9.04 (beta) and I believe it was after I installed
python2.6, although I'm afraid I don't remember that for certain.
My hunch is that gPodder was only tested with 2.5 and when I installed 2.6 it
started using that instead? Or maybe I upgraded sqlite3 to a version that is
more Unicode-happy? I don't know.
Apparently the solution is to "switch your application to Unicode strings." I'd
be happy to help do that if someone could me some pointers on how to get
started... (my knowledge of Python is pretty basic).
Some version information in case it might be helpful:
> python --version
Python 2.6.1+
python2.5 install
python2.5-dev install
python2.5-minimal install
python2.6 install
python2.6-minimal install
python3-minimal install
python3.0 install
python3.0-minimal install
libsqlite3-0 install
python-pysqlite2 install (2.5.0-2ubuntu1)
sqlite install
sqlite3 install
I am running the very latest gpodder from git
(ec0f1922f0dafa1e31eaf2ae4e175a0056c9bc7e).
Any ideas?
