18790	Non-ascii characters in password for database settings don't work	thcourbon@…	nobody	"An UnicodeError is raised when using a password that contains non-ascii characters.

For example the following settings cause an error when I run ./manage.py syncdb.
{{{
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'DBName',
        'USER': 'DBUser',
        'PASSWORD': u'je suis français',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}
}}}

To run ./manage.py runserver with an empty project (just update the settings) you have to add the magix comment on top of the file :
