Run into an error when typing chinese

[Pythonbotty]

Does anybody else run into the following error when trying to type chinese character into the chatbot?

sqlalchemy.exc.ProgrammingError: (sqlite3.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. [SQL: u'SELECT statement.id AS statement_id, statement.text AS statement_text, statement.extra_data AS statement_extra_data \nFROM statement \nWHERE statement.text = ?\n LIMIT ? OFFSET ?'] [parameters: ('\xe4\xbd\xa0\xe5\xa5\xbd\xe5\x90\x97', 1, 0)]

@Pythonbotty I haven't hit this error before but it sounds like a possible error with the Sqlite storage. I'll see what I can do to recreate this error and correct it.

Thanks Gunther. These are my codes if it helps in any way. I just have to type a chinese character into it and the error will show up.

bot = ChatBot ("Charlie",trainer="chatterbot.trainers.ListTrainer", logic_adapters=[{
"import_path":"chatterbot.logic.BestMatch",
"statement_comparison_function":"chatterbot.comparisons.levenshtein_distance"}],response_selection_method=get_random_response,read_only=True)

import pandas as pd
export = pd.read_csv('Something.csv', header=None)
conversation = export.values.T[1].tolist()
results = export.values.T[0].tolist()
test = pd.DataFrame(conversation,results)

for ab in test.itertuples():

bot.train (ab)

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

while True:
try:
sentence = raw_input (" ")
print bot.get_response(sentence)
except(KeyboardInterrupt,EOFError,SystemExit):
break
