UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 0-8: ordinal not in range(256)

Can you provide some minified example demonstrating the problem? MySQL database dump preferred.

Mysql statement to create a table:

CREATE TABLEauth_user( user_idbigint(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, usernamevarchar(20) NOT NULL COMMENT '用户名、登录名', nicknamevarchar(20) NOT NULL COMMENT '姓名', passwordvarchar(50) NOT NULL, create_timetimestamp NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, update_timetimestamp NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, PRIMARY KEY (user_id) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COMMENT='用户表（登录账号）';

When mysql database has the above table, use py-mysql2pgsql to convert create table statement will be the following error： comments.append('COMMENT ON TABLE %s is %s;' % (table.name, QuotedString(table.comment).getquoted())) UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 0-8: ordinal not in range(256)
