That's correct for to_python. But personally, I would raise an exception in from_db_value, since that indicates data corruption. In your case, there are only a handful of allowed values that should come from the database. Anything else, will indicate somebody messing with your data or upgrades of one of the libraries in between Django and the database changed it's output format. Both of which will require attention. This is one advantage of from_db_value and to_python separation. -- Melvyn Sopacua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
