20990	compilemessages fails	gregoire.astruc+django@…	nobody	"System: WinXP, django 1.5.2 (through virtual-env), python 2.7.3, using Aptana 3.4.2 shell.

When somebody run the following sequence:
{{{#!sh
$ ./manage.py makemessages -l en
$ ./manage.py compilemessages
}}}

`compilemessages` fails with the following output:
{{{
processing file django.po in d:\Trunk\src\locale\en\LC_MESSAGES
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ""d:\v-env\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\base.py"", line 222, in run_from_a
    self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__)
  File ""d:\v-env\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\base.py"", line 255, in execute
    output = self.handle(*args, **options)
  File ""d:\v-env\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\commands\compilemessages.py"", lin
    compile_messages(self.stderr, locale=locale)

    if f.endswith('.po'):

}}}

Running `./manage.py compilemessages -l en` solves the issue and `./manage.py compilemessages` appears to work afterwards.
