#35284: PositiveIntegerField description is confusing -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Jon Ribbens | Owner: nobody Type: | Status: new Cleanup/optimization | Component: Documentation | Version: 5.0 Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Triage Stage: | Unreviewed Has patch: 1 | Needs documentation: 0 Needs tests: 0 | Patch needs improvement: 0 Easy pickings: 1 | UI/UX: 0 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bcail):
I think the reference to backwards compatibility in the docs is an explanation from the Django developers for why they didn't change PositiveIntegerField to not accept zero. It started out accepting zero, and they would change it to not accept zero anymore, but they aren't going to change it now because code depends on it accepting zero (ie. "backwards compatibility"). -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/35284#comment:6> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
