Maybe both have two do with encodings on Windows, but the behavior
described in that issue is different, since the dump is actually created,
but with wrong encoding (if I understand it correctly). In my case the
dump file is only written until the character before the non-supported
character. Also, when comparing my traceback to the traceback from
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-
users/NAHD058Gh_Q/discussion, it does seem like two different issues.
I'm not a Python or Django expert by any means, but as you can see from
the end of my traceback...
File
"C:\Users\Morten\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\encodings\cp1252.py",
line 19, in encode
return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
Django uses a wrong Python encoding library for the utf8 database, because
it assumes the encoding set in Windows is the right one to use.
But if I am right that Windows will never have utf8 set as a default
locale, Django should provide a way to override the default locale
encoding and set utf8 instead.
