I use python 3.7 but I had the same issue, to solve itI kind of cheated by adding MySQL default charset 255
in gluon\contrib\pymsysql\charset.py I have added this at line 260 (at the end of the list of charsets) _charsets.add(Charset(255, 'utf8mb4', 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci', '')) then I deleted __pycache__/charset.cpython-37.pyc and restarted web2py -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
