Whether this is a bug?

Can you tell me what exactly you executed? just manage.py createsuperuser and did it fail immediately or  after you entered the username?

 

In pycharm 2.6:

I can't tell you what pycharm does, according to the docs it is certainly supported: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-createsuperuser and works for me.

Thx,

While you surely wanted to be helpful, a link like this isn't really helping to solve the problem. Given the fact that the user is on windows and we mostly (or rather exclusively) test on Linux it's certainly possible that Windows is doing something stupid or the locale/sys information doesn't allow us to determine the encoding correctly and we have indeed a bug there.

Your link (at least to me) might suggest that it's completely the fault of the user and might be a bit discouraging to newcomers. If it's all that clear to you please try to include a few words to accompany the link and maybe even try to explain what he can do to fix this error.

Best regards,
Florian
