Comment:
The patch is bad.
What .encode('ascii', 'ignore') does is that it ignores the
UnicodeError. So what is the point of catching the UnicodeDecodeError (a
subclass of UnicodeError) that would never get raised? Then the code block
default_username = '' will never get executed. I suggest fixing the
'ignore' positional argument to 'strict'.
