Comment (by Hynek Cernoch <hynek@…>):

 Yes, but that was a somewhat different situation. \\
 I would prefer the original proposed solution to strip international
 characters from the ''default_username'', because an evantually conversion
 to unicode would only postpone the problem for later. (Convert something
 correctly and display that correctly, what would be finally must
 rejected?)

 I thing that a simple solution can be incorporaded in any bugfix release,
 it need not to wait for Django 1.4

 (I know a better solution with striping the accents, not dropping
 characters, but it is not important now at all, imho. The encoding is not
 'utf-8'. It is sys.getfilesystemencoding(), usually 'mbcs', which is a
 generic name for differnent windows default encodings of the actual
 installation.)
