TypeError in database Space table.

[Bacoknight]

I've had no issue in accessing a database that I generated on my personal computer. However, I have attempted to run the same python script on a distributed Linux network and the Space table entry seems to be a bunch of text rather than the usually BLOB binary that I've noticed on my local computer. When I try to transfer the database file onto my personal computer, trying to access the data to obtain the 'translated' variables returns the following error:

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

I think I've managed to alleviate the issue by exporting the Space table from the database created by the script running on my personal computer and importing this on the other database, but the variables returned by this don't give the same loss value as the database suggests which is concerning.

Is there any way to prevent the Space table being generated as plain text, but as a BLOB binary as it's meant to? Additionally, if two problems have the same bounds for the same variables, are their Space tables interchangable?
