TypeError: You cannot set the body to a text value without a charset (WebOb 1.6.3)

[Lucas Alvares Gomes]

The WebOB "charset" can not be omitted when constructing Request/Response instance and exception will occur if omitted:

    Auth token, set the correct charset

    Explicit set the charset to UTF-8 when replying with 401. It's now
    required by webob.

    A previous attempt to fix this problem was introduced as part of the
    commit 20fb1dbe5a884ecdbf6ee5ea26b2660f7a7e4b1e but this is only
    compatible with the version 1.7.0 of WebOb, older versions will break.

It is fixed for me with WebOb 1.6.3

But if I install 1.7.0 or above it fails with the same error.
