Running python 2, it apears SQLAlchemy is not fully capable to handle
unicode strings as urls. While they can be passed and will be processed
(correctly as far as we can tell) there are issues with 'representing'
an
Engine
orsqlalchemy.engine.url.URL
. As far as we understand,their
repr()
call will naivly construct astr
from its variouscomponents. If any of those substrings (like the URL) happens to be an
unicode string, this will fail if it can not be ascii-decoded.
SQLAlchemy should propably call repr(url) instead.
For now, this commit just avoids the problem entirely by amending the
triggering log message not to render a string representation of the
created engine. A proper solution would probably be to write a custom
wrapper function that handles Engine representation properly.
Also, a test that triggers the origianl offending behaviour has been
added, so any regression should be easier to find.
