Hello django-developers,
I'm running into some very strange behaviour when using MySQL as the DB.
This is the first time i'm using MySQL for Django, other projects have
been Postgres based.
Right after I log into the admin I get a strange error in
django.models.core.get_decoded(), for some reason self.session_data
contains an array instead of a string. The array is array('c',
'KGRwMQpTJ19hdXRoX3VzZXJfaWQnCnAyCkkxCnMuMWM3YTZkMWI0OTRmMmM2Y2E0MmFlMGRjZjJk\nZjVjNTI=\n')
The error is
TypeError at /admin/
a2b_base64() argument 1 must be string or read-only character buffer,
not array.array
Request Method: POST
Request URL: http://localhost:8080/admin/
Exception Type: TypeError
Exception Value: a2b_base64() argument 1 must be string or read-only
character buffer, not array.array
Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.4/base64.py in decodestring,
line 316
I've test this behaviour in the shell and for Postgres I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] myproject]# python manage.py shell
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Feb 2 2005, 12:11:53)

>>> from django.models.core import sessions
>>> s = sessions.get_object(pk='7301a18de6eee75f89719dad6a7531b6')
>>> s.session_data

This is perfect...
But on MySQL i get the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] myproject]# python manage.py shell
Python 2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29)
[GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)] on linux2

>>> from django.models.core import sessions
>>> s = sessions.get_object(pk='14cb08f0a4fa0a237ca9ba9a40a93dc1')
>>> s.session_data
*array('c',
'KGRwMQpTJ19hdXRoX3VzZXJfaWQnCnAyCkkxCnMuMWM3YTZkMWI0OTRmMmM2Y2E0MmFl
MGRjZjJk\nZjVjNTI=\n')*
>>>
Which is bad, and base64.decodestring() trips over this because it is
expecting a string.
If i edit the line in get_decoded() to:
*encoded_data = base64.decodestring(self.session_data.tostring())*
it works fine, but that sorta feels like a monkey patch and doesn't fix
the problem behind this problem.
I'm looking into it as to why this is happening but I was wondering if
other people are running into this problem too?
I am using Mysql 4.1.14 and django svn version.
Any help & suggestions appreciated.
