I've written a custom field (I'm using Django nonrel) for storing users in a SetField. The SetField doesn't seem to handle serialising the set of User objects properly, so what I've done is implement the pre_save method, which returns a set of strings which are the ids in MongoDB.
The documentation states that pre_save is for converting complex Python types to database types, which is working great. The problem is, the documentation states this for Field.to_python; "Converts a value as returned by your database (or a serializer) to a Python object." I'd expect that the database is returning a set of strings (which are the ids) but it's actually returning a list of User objects. From this, I would then expect that accessing the field on a model would return a set of User objects, but it's returning a set of string objects. So to_python is receiving and returning a set of User objects, but accessing the model's users attribute returns the raw database value. How can I get my custom field to return the set of User objects properly? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
