Django 1.4 tutorial part 1 seems broken at the superuser creation stage.

2013-06-16 Thread Ed 
Hello Dear Django Group.

My first day with Django, I just got it installed on my computer, and am 
trying to follow along with the first 
tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial01/

I have Django's development server up, and I'm able to see the "It worked!" 
Django welcome page. Where I ran into the dead end is at the following 
section:

"The 
syncdb
 command looks at the 
INSTALLED_APPS
 setting and creates any necessary database tables according to the 
database settings in your settings.py file. You’ll see a message for each 
database table it creates, and you’ll get a prompt asking you if you’d like 
to create a superuser account for the authentication system. Go ahead and 
do that."

Up to this point, I've followed the tutorial line by line. However, after I 
ran the command "python manage.py syncdb", I got the error message below, 
and it seems to be an internal error to Django. Has anyone else encountered 
this issue, and how did you resolve it? Any feedback or insight is 
appreciated. Thank you!


$ python manage.py syncdb   
   
Creating tables ...
Creating table auth_permission
Creating table auth_group_permissions
Creating table auth_group
Creating table auth_user_user_permissions
Creating table auth_user_groups
Creating table auth_user
Creating table django_content_type
Creating table django_session
Creating table django_site

You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any 
superusers defined.
Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes

Look at the final, breaking, line of code in the stack trace:

return getpass.getuser().decode(locale.getdefaultlocale()[1])

The error says that the argument to decode() is None. The argument to
decode() is the 2nd value returned by locale.getdefaultlocale(), which
returns a 2-tuple of (locale, charset), which is determined (on linux)
by examining the value of the environment variable LANG.

If LANG is unset or empty (or the "C" locale) then these values are
undefined. Django relies on these values being defined to understand
input that is given to it.

Set a proper LANG in your environment. Use "python -m locale" to check
what python sees it as. Common values for LANG are like "en_GB.UTF-8"
or "pt_BR.UTF-8".

Cheers

Tom

Thank you very much, Tom, for pointing that out.

I had no idea django was looking for that environment variable. Following 
your direction, I checked, and discover that they are all indeed default to 
"undefined". I'm using OpenBSD 5.3 on macppc, which explains why they were 
not set, as opposed to on Linux.

$ python -m locale
Locale aliasing:

Locale defaults as determined by getdefaultlocale():

Language:  (undefined)
Encoding:  (undefined)

Locale settings on startup:

LC_NUMERIC ...
   Language:  (undefined)
   Encoding:  (undefined)

LC_MESSAGES ...

   Encoding:  (undefined)

LC_MONETARY ...

LC_COLLATE ...
   Language:  (undefined)
   Encoding:  (undefined)

LC_CTYPE ...
   Language:  (undefined)
   Encoding:  (undefined)

LC_TIME ...
   Language:  (undefined)
   Encoding:  (undefined)


Locale settings after calling resetlocale():

Locale settings after calling setlocale(LC_ALL, ""):
