Provide alternative runserver command for Windows#1
Closed
Conversation
On Windows, hostname may include non-ascii characters encoded by locale-specific encoding. `runserver` tries to do `gethostbyaddr`, which then fails with `UnicodeDecodeError` as it always try to decode with `utf-8` Providing IP explicitly (even if it's `0.0.0.0`) enforces Django to skip this test, providing workaround for [Python's bug #9377](http://bugs.python.org/issue9377).
