Description

As noted in ​http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7190, BooleanField can be either an int or a bool depending on the database used.

This bit of non-deterministic behavior should be documented very clearly.

Looks like the doc in the code should be updated. There is a fine difference between bool and int:

1 == True

True

1 is True

False
