--------------------------------------------+--------------------
I have a project with a 3rd party bundled file (`MIT-license.txt`) which
is apparently not encoded with UTF-8 and contains some characters that
makes the `makemessages` management command crash with a
`UnicodeDecodeError`. It outputs the full contents of the file, but not
the file name or location. Not very helpful.
I don't really want to have to search my project for 3rd party non-UTF8
files with a `.txt` or `.html` extension and convert them to UTF8. I'd
rather leave 3rd party files as they are so I can diff and update them
easier.
I also don't really want to do a find across the whole project looking for
a match against the content that caused the error, so I can work out the
filename and explicitly ignore it with a glob pattern.
I'd like Django to simply warn me that the file generated a
`UnicodeDecodeError` and was skipped, then continue processing other
files. If it's important, then I can go and fix it.
