Hi,

I have a custom model field class that stores event recurrence
information. In python this is an instance of dateutil.rrule.rule, and
in the database I am storing it as an iCal recurrence string. To
convert between these two formats I have to_python and
get_db_prep_value methods on the custom field class (subclassing
models.Field).

Things works more-or-less OK, but when I run dumpdata to serialize the
database into json, at some point to_json gets executed and the
returned value for rrule is '<dateutil.rrule.rrule instance at
0x1121828>' and not the value that should be returned by
get_db_prep_value. I also have a 'value_to_string' method on the
fiels, but this does not get executed either.

What am I missing about the way dumpdata handles these custom model
fields?

Thanks
Andy.
