I don't know why it's failing with this error. the way I am using it looks legit to me. https://gist.github.com/pazooki/b3ee2937c72bd0fa679f#file-traceback

This appears to be caused by the hyphenate option. This creates 36-character strings, while the length of the field is fixed at 32. Data gets truncated on insert, and is thus incomplete when read.

I experienced the same error when creating the database with syncdb, inserting a record with a hyphenated uuid (using either models or UUID() in sql) and then running dumpdata.

After recreating the database table after the above modification the field is of the correct size, data is no longer truncated, and the error no longer occurs.

This is the same as #40
