Hi,

File "/usr/local/py_venv/erdb2-django/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/migrate.py", line 266, in migration_progress_callback
self.stdout.write(" Applying %s\u2026" % migration, ending="")
File "/usr/local/py_venv/erdb2-django/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 145, in write
self._out.write(style_func(msg))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\u2026' in position 48: ordinal not in range(128)

Should stdout not receive ASCII only?

Someone changed here 3 dots to ellipsis character:

I think your shell/terminal isn't configured for Unicode. Take a look here for some ideas about how to solve it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9942594/unicodeencodeerror-ascii-codec-cant-encode-character-u-xa0-in-position-20/39293287

This was reported as crashing on Windows in https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30184 so we might revert the change.
