I ran into this same issue. It seems to be a problem with debug mode and repr for scheduled tasks with unicode in their names. I was able to work around it by subclassing the DatabaseScheduler class and overriding the logger statement in schedule()

as this package dropped python2, are you still facing this? I will close if not
