Must not assume django_id is an int

[linkmic]

Hi,

In xapian_backend.py it is not safe to assume that django_id is an int. In my application, for example, I use django-uuidfield and the id (pk) of the objects cannot be cast to integer.

from xapian_backend.py

if field['field_name'] in ('id', 'django_id', 'django_ct'):
# Private fields are indexed in a different way:
# django_id is an int and django_ct is text;
# besides, they are indexed by their (unstemmed) value.
if field['field_name'] == 'django_id':
value = int(value)
value = _term_to_xapian_value(value, field['type'])

Do you have any suggestion how I could resolve this?
Thanks,
/mike

You are correct. We are assuming ints. I don't see any issue in extending it to non-integers.
