I can't seem to figure out what is causing this:  According to the following 
2 models
and the 'python manage.py shell' session shown after them, I am getting 2L 
as a
return value from a certain call when I would expect u'redhat 5.6' or 
similar.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.  I am very stumped at this 
point.

I include (and query) "Status" just to show normal/expected output from a 
very
similar query for a field value.

class Status(models.Model):
    name            = models.CharField('Status',
                                       max_length=30,
                                       primary_key=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

class Distro(models.Model):
    # don't make name the primary key, because then it has to be
    # unique and we want to allow multiple items with the same
    # 'name', like ubuntu 10.10 and ubuntu 11.04
    name            = models.CharField('Distro Brand',
                                       help_text='redhat, ubuntu, etc',
                                       max_length=30)

    version         = models.CharField('Distro Version',
                                       help_text='Not kernel version',
                                       max_length=10)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u"%s %s" % (self.name, self.version)

>>> from hostdb.models import Device, Interface

>>> dev = Interface.objects.get(fqdn=hostname).device
>>> dev.status
<Status: Online>
>>> f = dev._meta.get_field('status')
>>> f.value_from_object(dev)
u'Online'
>>> # Super -- this is exactly what I would expect.  Now trouble
>>> dev.distro
<Distro: redhat 5.6>
>>> print dev.distro
redhat 5.6
>>> f = dev._meta.get_field('distro')
>>> f.value_from_object(dev)
2L
>>> # what the hell?
