26584	HStoreField reading broken from  external script or console.	Dario Deledda	nobody	"== Bug Description==
When you run from external script or console the reading of an '''HStoreField''' return a '''String''' instead a '''Dict'''.
for example: an object from a class like:

{{{
class Alert(models.Model):
  data = HStoreField(default={})
}}}

if you try:
{{{
a=Alert.objects.all()[0
type(a.data)
}}}
return {{{<class 'str'>}}} instead {{{<class 'dict'>}}}

== Brief analysis ==
It seems that in the console or script init, the '''register_hstore''' it's not called.

== WorkAround: ==
If you use for the init of the console or external script the following code:
{{{
sys.path.append(gDjangoProjectPath)
os.environ[""DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE""] = gDjangoSetting
django.setup()
from django.contrib.postgres.fields import HStoreField
from wot.apps.website.alert import Alert

# HSTORE BUG WORK AROUND!!
from django.db import connection
from psycopg2.extras import register_hstore
register_hstore(connection.connection)
}}}
the '''HStoreField''' work normally.
