Here's a candidate fix for anyone suffering with this or similar.
I've just resolved this on my installation, by removing all the *.pyc files in /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db.
cd /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db sudo rm *.pyc
Seems to indicate an incorrect compile of the python *.py to *.pyc files or even a local corruption.
Running the software center recompiled the *.pyc files.
I'm glad that's sorted; took most of the day to get here.
