3729	For integer field inside Model.save() is provided string value when 'choices' option is used	EntropyHacker	nobody	"I found that inside save() method of model field declared as PositiveSmallIntegerField actually is string! So instead 2 I have ""2"" as self.status value. If 'choices = STATUS_LIST' will be removed from field declaration bug will disappear and inside of save() I have integer as it should be.

{{{
from django.db import models
import types

STATUS_LIST = (
     (1, 'New'),
     (2, 'Public'),
     (4, 'Hidden'),
)

class Dummy(models.Model):
     name = models.CharField(maxlength=16)
     status = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(default = 1, choices = STATUS_LIST)
     
     class Admin:
          pass

     def __str__(self):
          return self.name

     def save(self):
          print ""Dummy.save status=%s, type=%s"" % (self.status, type(self.status))
          assert type(self.status) == types.IntType, \
              ""instead of IntType received %s, value is %s"" % (type(self.status), self.status)

          super(Dummy, self).save()
