It's documented in the source. The source is Python, so reading it isn't that hard. Be aware, though, that get_internal_type returns something that is appropriate for determining the type of database column to use. *Not* the Python type that is used for the attribute. That latter value isn't returned by anything. It isn't even a well-defined concept (a field could potentially store and return multiple types, since they're arbitrary Python objects at the most general level).
