Hi, I just noticed a problem with varbinary fields and inspectdb. When inspectdb processes all fields, it creates varbinary as CharField but it needs to be BinaryField. Using CharField it is impossible to store non-ASCII (non-text) content in these columns.
I noticed that problem when I tried to insert a mac address (hex) into a varbinary field which needs to be UNHEX()'ed before being inserted. CharFields forces str() as the value which saves a binary representation as the value (b'...). Inspectdb should always be handled as BinaryField because that is what it realy is (currently it is some sort of saving an int as str). Whats your opinion?
