Comment (by [email protected]):

 I am trying to store the output from a RSA encryption call in my
 django database ... about 200 bytes I believe. I think BinaryField is
 exactly what I am looking for. I applied the patch3 against r10175 and it
 works.

 Unfortunately it does appears to function a bit differently on sqlite
 (local) v. mysql (remote).

 On my local machine, the value of the field is as expected, but on the
 remote machine, type(obj.cipher) gives me a <type 'buffer'> when
 accessing the attribute which I don't know what to do with.

 Is this the expected behaviour?
