Re: Strange value_from_object() return value (2L returned instead of unicode string)

But why do you need to get that value via the *field* object? The usual way to do it is simply to access the attribute directly on the model instance:

    unicode(dev.distro)

or, if you have the field name as a string as you imply originally, use `getattr`:

    unicode(getattr(dev, 'distro'))

Indeed, that's what I am doing now:

        for field in Device._meta.fields:

            vname = field.verbose_name

            val = unicode(getattr(dev, field.name))

            val = sanitized_value(val)

            self.stdout.write("%s: %s\n" % (vname, val))

 

Thank you all.
