Saving NUL character truncates string using SQLite

[Alexandre Martani <amartani@…>]

When I try to save a string containing NUL character (\x00), only the
part before the character is saved. I have created a simple model:

class Test(models.Model):
  content = models.TextField()

And this happens:

>>> from mysite.test.models import Test
>>> test = Test(content="blabla\x00blablabla")
>>> test.content
'blabla\x00blablabla'
>>> test.save()
>>> test.pk
1
>>> Test.objects.get(pk=1).content
u'blabla'
>>> test.content
'blabla\x00blablabla'

The end of the string is simply lost, no errors are raised, nothing. Since python supports NUL character in strings, Django should support them too, or just drop it, but not losing all the end of the string.
This happens on Django 0.96.1 and SVN, using SQLite database.
