8380	models.CharField 3 times the actually database field length	hall	nobody	"If I do `python manage.py inspectdb` for my project I get this output:

{{{
class DjangoSession(models.Model):
    session_key = models.CharField(max_length=120, primary_key=True)
    session_data = models.TextField()
    expire_date = models.DateTimeField()
    class Meta:
        db_table = u'django_session'
}}}

But session_key is varchar(40). I'd try and drop the table and run syncdb, it creates the same database structure but inspectdb still reports it as 3 times the length.

The database is MySQL, noticed it in django 0.96.2 and latest revision 8423."		closed	django-admin.py inspectdb	dev		invalid			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
