TypeError: an integer is required (got type bytes)

I just tried to install dammit on a cluster using conda. Per the bioconda site, I ran:

`conda create -n dammit python=3
source activate dammit

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --add channels bioconda

conda install dammit`

The installation seemed to run successfully, as there were no error messages. However, when I try running dammit databases or any other dammit command, I get the following errors:

Other than seeing that a bunch of python scripts aren't functioning, I can't tell what's going wrong. Agian, it seemed to install just fine, so I feel like there must be some other issue? Has this happened to anyone else?

So it looks like it was an issue with the python version. I downgraded from python 3.8 to 3.6 and it seems to have resolved the issue. However, now, when I try to run any dammit databases command, the program stalls out with a forever blinking cursor after printing:

dammit
a tool for easy de novo transcriptome annotation
by Camille Scott
v1.2, 2018
submodule: databases

So close, but yet so far...any advice in getting this working is appreciated!

Here is the current status of the log file if that helps
