I am trying to add a database to the Django Project using Sqlite3 and Python 2.7.
This is how my setting.py looks like:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': 'dev.db', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
'USER': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
'PASSWORD': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
}
}
It allows me to create the database and it asks me to create the superuser:
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):
When i type yes, it gives me this error msg.
Error msg:

How do i solve the error above? Why doesn't it allow me to add a superuser? what should i do? Could this problem because I am running Python 2.7?
Type this before you execute the python manage.py syncdb
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
This will solve the error.. Btw i was using mac os x python which was in /usr/bin/python.
Add it to the ./.bash_profile file so that it calls it automatically..
