#15778: Command createsuperuser fails under some system user names
-------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: Hynek Cernoch <hynek@…> | Owner: nobody
Type: Bug | Status: new
Milestone: 1.3 | Component: contrib.auth
Version: 1.3 | Severity: Normal
Keywords: | Triage Stage: Unreviewed
Has patch: 1 |
-------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Commands 'createsuperuser' and 'syncdb' can not create a superuser account
no way because of database error,
if a system account username contains an 8-bit character.
It fails when the name is automatically searched in the database, even if
the user wants to write an ascii username manually.
This is typical for usernames created by Microsoft Windows.
{{{
File "C:\Python26\lib\site-
packages\django\contrib\auth\management\commands\createsuperuser.py", line
72, in handle
User.objects.get(username=default_username)
...
File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\sqlite3\base.py",
line 234, in execute
return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params)
DatabaseError : You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a
text_factory that can interpret
8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommended that
you instead just switch
your application to Unicode strings.
}}}
Versions: Django 1.3, Python 2.6.4 windows, Sqlite3 3.5.9, dbapi 2.4.1
It is easier to fix it once then to circumvent it twice.
The middle part of the patch:
{{{
- default_username = getpass.getuser().replace(' ', '').lower()
+ default_username = str(getpass.getuser().decode('ascii',
'ignore')).replace(' ', '').lower()
}}}
