This has been discussed in the list many times. We decided to be
stricter about data types long ago. No need to use words like "land mines".
There is nothing unpythonic in this. Python doesn't allow you to do such
operations:
2 + '2'
datetime("1984", "12", "21")
You must do explicit conversion, either str(2) + '2' or 2 + int('2'). And
this is what SQLObject now asks - to do explicit conversion in the program.
