   There is a big misunderstanding between you and me. I have no
objection for conversion from DB to Python. All my objections were about
Python-to-DB conversion.
   If a column .age is the IntCol, I don't want to see the code
atable.age = '1'
   The code must raise TypeError or InvalidField exception. Those who
want such code in their programs will implemet the conversion
themselves and take all responsibility for it.
