While the other responders have a good laugh at your expense, let me
actually point you toward a solution.
The traceback line I left above is the key. It shows that the pymysql
module is trying to encode your Unicode string into an 8-bit character set
in order to send it to the MySQL server. It is THAT conversion that
failed; this has nothing to do with the server (yet).
So, why did it choose 'latin-1'? Because that's the default character set
for pymysql. You could have learned this yourself -- you have the full
source code for pymysql on your machine.
You can override the default character set:
con = pymysql.connect( db = 'metrites', host = 'localhost', user =
'me', passwd = 'somepass', charset='utf-8', init_command='SET NAMES UTF8' )
