ValueError: too many values to unpack when POSTGIS_VERSION in settings

[anonymous]

On syncdb with contrib.gis installed and POSTGIS_VERSION in settings, i get a ValueError: too many values to unpack

File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\gis\db\backend\postgis\query.py", line 28, in <module>
     POSTGIS_VERSION, MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION1, MINOR_VERSION2 = version_tuple

in settings:

POSTGIS_VERSION='1.3.6'

When i remove that setting, syncdb works.

It appears in ​http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/gis/db/backend/postgis/query.py that when POSTGIS_VERSION is not in the settings, postgis_version_tuple() returns a tuple in this format: ('1.3.6',1,3,6) whereas the GIS docs (​http://geodjango.org/docs/testing.html#postgis-version) say to set POSTGIS_VERSION in the format i used. When POSTGIS_VERSION is returned, the tuple only has one element, not the four required.

i noted that the code says "This setting is intentionally undocumented" so i don't know what course of action is appropriate.

Not a blocker for 1.1.
