Hi, 

I am new to Galaxy and have not found a solution on dev-list to this 8-bit bytestrings error.
That occurs on my local installation but not on Galaxy main server.

Cheers

ProgrammingError: (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. u'UPDATE history_dataset_association SET update_time=?, info=?, blurb=?, peek=?
