in gluon/dal.py you can find this....
def __init__(self, uri='sqlite://dummy.db',
pool_size=0, folder=None,
db_codec='UTF-8', check_reserved=None,
migrate=True, fake_migrate=False,
migrate_enabled=True, fake_migrate_all=False,
decode_credentials=False, driver_args=None,
adapter_args=None, attempts=5, auto_import=False):
if not decode_credentials:
credential_decoder = lambda cred: cred
else:
credential_decoder = lambda cred: urllib.unquote(cred)
try to quote the credentials and set decode_credentials to True
