[SQLObject] small problem in SQLObject.__repr__

[Cyril E. <cy...@de...>]

Hi All,

I'm discovering SQLObject (SVN version). I'm using it with an existing 
database under Postgres. In this database all IDs are in hexadecimal so 
represented as strings. So far so good, but the SQLObject.__repr__ 
method accept integer IDs only. Every other routine in this class accept 
string IDs.

Is it possible to make the correction? I can do that on my own machine 
of course but what about the SVN version?

Thanks,

Cyril Elkaim

Why not just convert the IDs to integers if they are just string
representations of integers?

Because they are 128 bits hexadecimal GUIDs prefixed by strings. This is 
a requirement of the application. Anyway I've made the correction in the 
__repr__ routine.
