Comment (by julien):
Django does cast values but only at a few key stages, for example when
receiving data from a form (since browsers have different ways of
formatting data) or before saving to the database (i.e. with
`get_db_prep_value`). However, if you are manually and directly feeding
improper data to a field, as illustrated in your code sample above, then
you're on your own. It is your responsibility to provide sensibly
formatted data as long as it is within your control -- that is, be
pythonic. If you find yourself stuck because improper data is passed to a
field in a way that is outside of your control, then feel free to bring
the question up on the dev-list.
