    value = networkString('%s' % (value,))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted/python/compat.py", line 364, in networkString
    raise TypeError("Can only pass-through bytes on Python 2")

The source code:

       if not isinstance(s, str):
            raise TypeError("Can only pass-through bytes on Python 2")
       # Ensure we're limited to ASCII subset:
       s.decode('ascii')


You could check if what you get here is not a str but unicode. You
could change the error message to include the type and value of s
