About
=====
A Django extension of richenum for Python. If you're unfamiliar with richenums, please read up on them (see `Related Packages`_) before using django-richenum.

-----------
Model Fields
-----------
IndexEnumField
Store ints in DB, but expose OrderedRichEnumValues in Python.
CanonicalNameEnumField
Store varchar in DB, but expose RichEnumValues in Python.
We recommend that you use IndexEnumField for storage and query efficiency.
LaxIndexEnumField
Like IndexEnumField, but also allows casting to and from canonical names.
Mainly used to help migrate existing code that uses strings as database values.

-----------
Form Fields
-----------
CanonicalEnumField
Uses the RichEnum/OrderedRichEnum canonical_name as form field values.
IndexEnumField
Uses the OrderedRichEnum index as form field values.
