Hi, I'm using Version 1.91.6 (2011-01-03 17:55:14) and I'm find this
behaviour with computed fields.
Is correct, is the type of a computed field always a string?
Example:
*Define a table with a computed field:*
db.define_table('entries',
Field <http://127.0.0.1:8080/examples/global/vars/Field>('f1', 'integer'),
Field <http://127.0.0.1:8080/examples/global/vars/Field>('f2', 'integer'),
Field <http://127.0.0.1:8080/examples/global/vars/Field>('f3', 'integer',
compute=lambda r: r['f1'] * r['f2']))
*Insert some data:*
db.entries.insert(f1=9, f2=8)
*Show data and type:*
>>> for r in db(db.entries).select():
... print r.f1, type(r.f1)
... print r.f2, type(r.f2)
... print r.f3, type(r.f3)
...
9 <type 'int'>
8 <type 'int'>
72 <type 'str'>
Thanks - Ian
