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

There're currently two github projects based on adding these, though I've not looked into exactly how they're implemented:

1. Django-EnumField:
   Provides an enumeration Django model field (using IntegerField) with reusable enums and transition validation.
2. Django-EnumFields:
   This package lets you use real Python (PEP435-style) enums with Django.

I don't think either use DB enum types, but they are in the works for first one.
