24500	Django runtests - 3 tests fail on windows due to encoding troubles	pascal chambon	nobody	"
On a my python2.7.3 install (32 bits), a today's checkout of django's master doesn't pass all tests - three i18n tests fails due to UnicodeDecodeError (I'm on windows 7 64 bits).

I'm aware it might be due to locales (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/#many-test-failures-with-unicodeencodeerror), but windows doesn't have such packages that I'm aware of. 

My win32 ""xgettext --version"" is  ""xgettext (GNU gettext-tools) 0.17""

I've followed the bug down to the xgettext invocation, where it seems the test expects utf8 output, whereas my xgettext-win32 version of course outputs ANSI (french locale) text.

{{{

}}}

Are these tests supposed to pass on windows as well as on *nix systems ? Are there specific requirements regarding xgettext or third-party packages ?
