Specifying a mySQL ENUM in a Django model

Question

How do I go about specifying and using an ENUM in a Django model?

Answer 1

If you really want to use your databases ENUM type:

1. Use Django 1.x
2. Recognize your application will only work on some databases.
3. Puzzle through this documentation page:http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-model-fields/#howto-custom-model-fields

Good luck!
