-------------------------------+--------------------
In a management command, if you include unicode characters when writing to
stdout (with self.stdout.write) you will get a UnicodeDecodeError
This happens even if the system locale is utf-8, and self.stdout.encoding
is utf-8, and you .decode(self.stdout.encoding,'replace')
A workaround is to always .decode() to ascii, and if that is what should
be done it should be documented at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-management-commands/
/myapp/management/commands/unicode_test.py

help = 'Do something'

output = 'Σάββα▒^▒ο'
