Problem with pymysql + python 2.7

Came across this problem when running a full test suite using pymysql with Python 2.7.

If you attempt to pass in a binary to BlobField, it results in the following error upon execution.

Code to reproduce the problem;

class TestModel(Model):
    value = BlobField()

v = binascii.unhexlify('0a0a0a')
OrderedUUIDModel.create(value=str(v))

I was having all sorts of problems like this with PyMySQL (0.7.2 and 0.6.6). I switched to MySQLdb and everything is good.

I got the same error. I degraded PyMySQL from (0.7.2) to (0.6.6). It works for me. My peewee version is 2.8.0
