Comment (by aaugustin):
This problem was introduced in [cb1614f7b30f336db2a807b43696e20fdab7b78c]
to implement feature request #18611. It affects Django 1.5+.
A first attempt at fixing it was made in #21358 for Django 1.6+ but it was
incomplete.
Apparently we should use CP1252 for decoding in that case:
{{{
>>> print 'ao\xfbt'.decode('cp1252')
août
}}}
Which raises the more general question of what encoding to use. The best
answer I found was on StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19412915/how-determine-encoding-of-
datetime-strftime-in-python
Can you provide the output of `locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME)` and of
`locale.getpreferredencoding()` on your system?
