django1.7, python 3.2, windows 7 64 bit russian

I have Windows 7 Rus, default encoding is cp1251.
If i have some translations in .po-file in russian (utf-8 encoding),
and running makemessages again to add new phrases, it uses msgmerge.exe in
function write_po_file,
popen got output in cp1251 encoding instead utf-8 and crashes:

Is this a regression from Django 1.6?

Comment (by bbaja42):

Might be related to https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21991, it also
had issues regarding locale. If it is related, then it is not regression.

Comment (by martinsvoboda):

I also have this bug. Nowadays is not possible for me runs makemessages on
Windows, if some translations exist. Msgmerge probably works wrong with
encoding on windows.

- On Unix has similar problem solved with setting locale
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22880
- It is not possible to configure Windows this way. Utf8 cannot be default
locale. locale.getdefaultlocale() returns for me:
{{{
>>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
('cs_CZ', 'cp1250')
}}}

in django.po

{{{
#: .\quotes\feeds.py:11
msgid "Domain.tld: Quotes for every day"
msgstr "Citaty-slavnych.sk: Citáty na každý deň"
}}}

Python 3.4.2, Django 1.8, Windows 7 64bit

Comment:

The regression tests for #23271 now fails for the same reason, so I
suggest this discussion should continue there.
