OK as I said earlier, I'm not able to reproduce this. So I'd need that
reproduction case in order to do anything. To be honest it sounds more like a
psycopg2 bug, since psycopg2 does the decoding in most cases nowadays and even
works with Python 3, so for it to be raising an exception with the "bytes" type
for the message is certainly a bug. But would need to see a real world
example to get a feel for it.
