Auth - Unknown Encoding Error when syncdb

[anonymous]

When I was running ./manage.py syncdb (with sqlite3), a LookupError shows up
as follow. I filed a patch to fix it.

In the UnitTest, I made import locale as inline (Or should I import it at
the beggining of the file?)

bash $ ./manage.py syncdb
Creating tables ...
Creating table auth_permission
Creating table auth_group_permissions
Creating table auth_group
Creating table auth_user_user_permissions
Creating table auth_user_groups
Creating table auth_user
Creating table django_content_type
Creating table django_session
Creating table django_site
Creating table django_admin_log

You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined.
Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes
