29086	"Bytestrings on CharFields getting saved as ""b'data'"""	Collin Anderson	nobody	"Django 1.11 behavior (python 3):
{{{
o = MyModel()
o.myfield = b'123'
o.save()
o.refresh_from_db()
o.myfield == ""123""
}}}

Django 2.0 behavior:
{{{
o = MyModel()
o.myfield = b'123'
o.save()
o.refresh_from_db()
o.myfield == ""b'123'""
}}}

Could we restore the old behavior, maybe with a deprecation warning?"	Bug	new	Database layer (models, ORM)	2.0	Release blocker				Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
