* ui_ux: => 0 * easy: => 0 Comment: I am also facing same problem. We have changed the default behavior of having primary keys. Throughout our code it has been replaced with custom UUIDFiled(given below). Till django 1.1 we were not facing any problem but while migrating to django1.3, I started facing problem during syncdb(duplicate key error while inserting in auth_permissions). Since there is change in "django/contrib/auth/management/__init__.py" create_permission code. Now it is referring to "content_type" which is a Foreign key. In my case its value is not being to_python'd. Thus it fails in comparison with a uuid.UUID type value (returned when referred as pk which is always to_python'd). Please update by when this bug will be solved? class UUIDField(models.Field): __metaclass__ = models.SubfieldBase empty_strings_allowed = False def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): if kwargs.get('primary_key', False): kwargs['editable'] = False kwargs['db_index'] = True super(UUIDField, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) def db_type(self, connection): return 'uuid' def get_internal_type(self): return 'UUIDField' def to_python(self, value): if (value is None) or isinstance(value, uuid.UUID): return value try: return uuid.UUID(value) except (AttributeError, TypeError, ValueError): return value def pre_save(self, obj, add): old_val = getattr(obj, self.attname) if (self.primary_key and add) and (old_val is None): value = uuid.uuid4() setattr(obj, self.attname, value) return value else: return old_val def get_db_prep_lookup(self, lookup_type, value,connection=None, prepared=False): if lookup_type == 'exact': return [self.get_db_prep_value(value,connection=None, prepared=False)] elif lookup_type == 'in': return [self.get_db_prep_value(v,connection=None, prepared=False) for v in value] elif lookup_type == 'isnull': return [] raise TypeError(u"Field has invalid lookup type: %s" % lookup_type) def value_to_string(self, obj): value = getattr(obj, self.attname) if value is None: return value else: return unicode(value) def formfield(self, **kwargs): defaults = { 'form_class': forms.RegexField, 'regex': UUID_REGEX, 'max_length': 47, 'error_messages': {'invalid': u"Enter only valid UUID."} } defaults.update(kwargs) return super(UUIDField, self).formfield(**defaults) -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14518#comment:4> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
