Rather obscure question here. I noted a comment over on the user list
about SVN version of Django supporting a DecimalField database type.
What is the relationship between this database field type and any
particular database adapters ability to store or return values in some
native database decimal type and convert it to the decimal.Decimal
type?

The reason I am asking is that there were recently problems found with
pyscopg2 module and its support for use of decimal.Decimal type. In
practice this only affects people who use mod_python or mod_wsgi and
run two different Django application instances in two different Python
sub interpreter instances in the one process. The actual details of
the pyscopg2 problem can be found at:

http://www.initd.org/tracker/psycopg/ticket/192

If Django does not use such type conversions done by a database
adapter module then all would be okay, but if it does some how rely on
them, I can see in the future some really obscure problems coming up
if people use psycopg2.

Just want to be forewarned since I usually end up dealing with the
more obscure mod_python questions. :-(
