Convert types to/from database using Postgres #7

Closed mx-moth closed 8 years ago

mx-moth commented 8 years ago

Instead of relying on Django and its get_db_value/from_db_value, the type is registered more deeply with Postgres. This allows the type to be used in ArrayFields and other places where typecasting is required.

OK, everything has been rewritten. Same basic premise, but a new approach that uses the psycopg internals correctly. I've added a bunch of comments, so hopefully you do not have to do as much spelunking through psycopg code as I did to understand it!

I've also added tests for more complicated use-cases, which was the inspiration for this in the first place. ArrayFields with CompositeTypes, and nested CompositeTypes are covered.

Add yourself to the README as an author, you've basically rewritten half of the code at this point :)
