Description

I have a custom field, which sets up a correspondence between a numpy array and a postgres array. It mostly seems to be working. However, when I call .full_clean() on a model containing such a field, the validation code eventually calls:

django.db.models.fields.init.py(207)validate():

206  	
207  ->	        if not self.blank and value in validators.EMPTY_VALUES:
208  	            raise exceptions.ValidationError(self.error_messages['blank'])

Here, the numpy definition for equality snarls things, and I get:

ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()

I suggest a django.db.models.Field member is_empty be added, which does value in validators.EMPTY_VALUES by default, but can be overridden by a custom subclass.

From [22be90dd171dee], empty_values is now a field attribute, and is customizable.
Is this sufficient to resolve your use case, or do you really need a custom method to achieve what you want?
