I see inconsistencies in how get_*_display() works based on whether
the object is a recently saved object. Probably an example describes
this best:
My model contains this:
class Task(models.Model):
STATUS_CHOICES = (
(OPEN_STATUS, 'Open'),
(CLOSED_STATUS, 'Closed'),
(STALLED_STATUS, 'Stalled'),)
status = models.IntegerField(choices=STATUS_CHOICES, blank=True,
null=True)
If I get a Task object from the database (via a .get() or .filter()),
then my status field contains an integer and I can call
the .get_status_display() method, ie:
(Pdb) type(t)
<class 'taskmanager.models.Task'>
(Pdb) t.status
3
(Pdb) t.get_status_display()
u'Stalled'
However, if I have recently saved a modelForm associated with my Task
model and now have a handle to the object that that save() returned,
the status is in unicode, and get_status_display() doesn't return a
useful string:
(Pdb) type(self)
<class 'taskmanager.models.Task'>
(Pdb) self.status
u'3'
(Pdb) self.get_status_display()
u'3'
Is this expected behavior?
