16017	createsuperuser fails if Python can't detect default locale	Preston Timmons	Ramiro Morales	"Changeset r16182 introduced a get_system_username() function to the createsuperuser command.

This includes the lines:

{{{#!python
try: 
    return getpass.getuser().decode(locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]) 
except (ImportError, KeyError, UnicodeDecodeError): 
}}}

If Python can't detect the default system locale, local.getdefaultlocale returns (None, None). This causes decode to raise:

{{{#!python
TypeError: decode() argument 1 must be string, not None
