The problem is that you're using '1' instead of 1. The comma separated integer list is expecting integers not strings. The reason you're seeing u'1' is because it's being turned from a string to a unicode object.
Try this instead: SOME_CHOICES = ((1, 'ch1'),(2, 'ch2'), (3, 'ch3'),(4, 'ch4')) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
