> o.myfield = b'123'
> o.save()
> o.refresh_from_db()
> o.myfield == "123"
> }}}
>

> Could we restore the old behavior, maybe with a deprecation warning?

New description:

 Django 1.11 behavior (python 3):
 {{{
 o = MyModel()
 o.myfield = b'123'
 o.save()
 o.refresh_from_db()
 o.myfield == "123"
 }}}

 Django 2.0 behavior:
 {{{
 o = MyModel()
 o.myfield = b'123'
 o.save()
 o.refresh_from_db()
 o.myfield == "b'123'"
 }}}

 Could we restore the old behavior, maybe with a deprecation warning?
 Either that or raise an error?
