Model _post_load method (or similiar for a field?)

Description

It would be nice to be able to do some operations right after an object is loaded from the DB. One example would be having some field which has to be pickled/unpickled when storing it in the DB.

This could be implemented either by adding a model _post_load method or by adding such a method to a field.

Any other workarounds which would work with current Django version that I'm missing?

This can be done by writing your own __init__ method on the model and just remember to call models.Model.__init__(....) first in your own function. Once the __init__ from the !Model class returns, the database fields will have been loaded and populated.
