No worries. I updated the get_db_prep_save to
def get_db_prep_save(self, value):
if not isinstance( value, basestring ):
return cPickle.dumps(value)
else:
return value
So that it doesn't re-pickle data that is already a string. Then I
unpickle the field if it's a string when ever I use it. A little
clunky, but my project's getting done.
