Using, python 2.7 using 'mysql+pymysql' driver

Code is very simple:

gcm_key =
'\xfeE\x87\xe7\xc9\xe5\xec\xe0\x9c\xd6\x85\x11\xc7\xebd\xe3\x7f\xd9\xfel\xe6\x86"j\xbe=\xf4\xd7\x95\x99F\x8f'
model = Sample(gcm_key=gcm_key)
session.add(model)

Now what you said is to make it u'some string'. The string in question
here is the gcm_key. So, I did this:

gcm_key = gcm_key.decode('utf8')

That throws an error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xfe in position 0:
invalid start byte

so the data you're starting out with is not valid utf8. That would be your problem.

    when you deal with non-ascii values in Python, it's best to use an
    encoding-neutral Python unicode object, in Py2K this is a string like
    u'some string'.   The conversion to utf8 is done by the database driver
    when it is passed from your application to the driver.

    If that's not the problem here then you'd need to illustrate many more
    details, including version of python in use, database driver in use, an
    MCVE code example that we can run (see
    http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve
    <http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve>).
