An IntegerField with a max_length silently truncates integers. Observe:
{{{
>>> class MyModel(Model):
>>> num = IntegerField(max_length=2)
>>> m = MyModel.objects.create(num=42)
>>> m.num
42
>>> m.num = 427
>>> m.num
427
>>> m.save()
>>> m.num
42
}}}
This violates the Zen of Python: "Errors should never pass silently." It
has also has been a reliable source of fun bugs over the years. This is
long-standing Procrustean behavior, since at least v1.0 I think, if not
before, but it bit me for the nth time yesterday, so I'm filing a bug.
