Description
Hi there
I use a custom model field (inherited from TextField) which simply returns its value as an "enhanced" unicode object.
Unfortunately, this will raise UnicodeErrors as MySQLdb apparently fails recognizing those values as unicode. The comparision isn't very clever there ;)
MySQLdb has a use_unicode flag, but I don't know how to implement it in Django and I think this is a serious bug.
I've prepared a whole test case right here: https://github.com/domibarton/django-mysql-unicode-error
I hope this is enough for a "proper" bug description.
Cheers
Domi
