Django error: django.db.utils.DatabaseError: You mustnot use 8-bit bytesrings

[imhomer]

When I run "python manage.py syncdb" and after I input that I want to create a superuser, cmd told me the error below:

django.db.utils.DatabaseError: You mustnot use 8-bit bytesrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommend that you instead just switch your application to Unicode strings.

Could you help me solve the problem? Thanks!

I don't know if its enough to add

#coding: UTF-8

at the top of the program. Or if there is some other setting you need to change. Or you could convert the string to unicode using:

unicode(string) #or when you create the string:
a = u"string"

I changed the settings of region in control panel and it worked. Thanks all the same!
