Comment:
This would be a backwards-incompatible change and not necessarily
desirable behaviour for everybody. Also, `values_list()` is just another
presentation for of `values()`, so should always mirror that (and changing
`values()` behaviour would affect a ''lot'' of people). The solution here
is to write your own `QuerySet` subclass that does the conversion you're
after.
One day, maybe, if there's a really good API, we might support this in
core, but, really, `values()` and `values_list()` return raw values
intentionally. If you want Python objects, just use a normal !QuerySet.
