I'm experiencing the same issue with importing blog posts from Wordpress:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 197,
in string_literal
return db.string_literal(obj)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1:
ordinal not in range(128)
Using debugger I found that most obj'es get there as type 'str'. But once
obj comes as 'future.builtins.backports.newstr.newstr', stirng_literal()
crashes.
This happens for BlogPost.description auto-generated in
mezzanine/core/models.py line 165:
# Fall back to the title if description couldn't be determined.
if not description:
description = str(self)
'str' here is not a common python string but imported from future.builtins
as specified in mezzanine/core/models.py line 2.
replacing it with
description = unicode(self)
fixed the issue for me.
