Comment (by mtredinnick):
I'm nervous about this. `sys.setdefaultencoding` should really never be
called. It has too many dangerous side effects and is only in the language
by accident (long history; search python-dev archives for details if you
really care).
A better solution would be preferred. I'm not convinced that Django's
behaviour is actually incorrect here: it asks for the system locale and is
given the right answer (since the user's system is set up to return their
preference). The problem is that we don't necessarily understand that
answer. Maybe that's the level it needs to be addressed on.
