The database is pre-existing and I'm creating a Django web interface for 
it. This object holds the 8-digit hex output of the unique mfr identifier 
of the MiFare rfids. There are remote terminals that interact with database 
through psycopg2 and have no issue with that field. 

I could change the format in the database and recode those devices but I'd 
rather just write the correct format to the database than go through the 
trouble of changing multiple aspects of the system. I'm approaching on that 
threshold of time spent trying to find this solution to time it would take 
to update the entire system but I would much rather prefer to know how to 
write the binaryfield in general anyways.
