Thanks for the info, Chris. I'm using MySQL 5.0.24a-standard-log on shared hosting (Dreamhost), so I don't believe I can update either MySQL or the mysql-python interpreter.
What's weird (though I think this just shows my lack of knowledge of both Python and Django) is that in the shell, accessing the field returns a string. So, why doesn't it just return a string in the admin? I know I can force this by defining a function, but then can't sort by the field. Anyhow, I suppose it's not a huge deal, but more of a curiosity as to how this works. On Jan 18, 11:05 am, "Chris Moffitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Take a look at this thread -http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/a9bfd40... If the link doesn't work, search for the title - "What is the FloatField type returned when accessing the field value" Anyway, it probably has to do with your DB backend. Are you using SQLite? If so, try switching to an up to date Mysql and see if it goes away. -Chris
