You have two problems: 1. You're assigning a string to a boolean. The string will evaluate to true.
2. You're not re-querying the database after the first save, so your 'm' instance still retains the string 'False.'
Here's some sample output with commentary which will illustrate. #get an object from the database >>> x = SomeModel.objects.get(pk = 1) #it's currently False >>> x.some_bool False #assign some junk that's not True or False >>> x.some_bool = 'apple' #yep, still there... x.some_bool >>> 'apple' #this just saved True in the database #because 'apple' evaluates to True. >>> x.save() #but my in-memory instance still contains 'apple' >>> x.some_bool 'apple' #until I go get it from the database again. >>> x = SomeModel.objects.get(pk = 1) >>> x.some_bool True -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
