title: 'utf-8' can't decode byte 0xc0 in position 0: invalid start byte
body: <p>I'm trying to execute Django's createsuperuser and recieve the following error. Before syncdb database is empty and coded in 'utf-8'. I'm using pymysql.</p>
  
  <pre><code>D:\Python27\site\mysite&gt;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 auth_message
  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 superuse
  rs defined.
  Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes
