 I found a strange behavior when accesing objects models using signals. The
 model is declared as:

 {{{
 class Campaign(models.Model):
     start_stay_date = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)
     end_stay_date = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)
 }}}

 When I use signals to connect the changes of the model with a function, a
 found that the instance that is passed as argument has strings instead of
 datetime in the dates:

 The code of the conection between the model and the function is:

 {{{
 def export_campaign_to_mongo(sender, instance, *args, **kwargs):
     check_dates()
 post_save.connect(export_campaign_to_mongo, Campaign)
 }}}

 This is the output of the console checking the types of the objects:

 {{{
 >>>type(instance)
 <class 'campaigns.models.Campaign'>
 >>>instance.start_date
 '2018-04-11T00:00:00'
 >>>from campaigns.models import Campaign
 >>>Campaign.objects.first().start_date
 datetime.datetime(2016, 10, 10, 0, 0)
 }}}

 I am using Django v1.9.5.
