makemessages problem due to bad encoding in migration file

Description

Basically, when i run the command "django-admin.py makemessages -l es_AR", I receive the following error:

CommandError: errors happened while running xgettext on 0001_initial.py
xgettext: ./career/migrations/0001_initial.py:1: Unknown encoding "utf8". Proceeding with ASCII instead.
xgettext: Non-ASCII string at ./career/migrations/0001_initial.py:19.

Please specify the source encoding through --from-code or through a comment
as specified in ​http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html.

When I looked at the file "0001_initial.py" I found this: " # encoding: utf8 " when it should be " # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*- ". After I fixed that I could run the command without problem.

Thanks for the report, but I fixed that yesterday: e520a73eeea6b185b719901ab9985ecef00e5664 (also backported on 1.7)
