Django 1.2 Validation breaks __eq__ on Recurrance Model

[Joe Jasinski]

Was having some difficulty with Django Recurrence when upgrading to Django 1.2. Django added model validators which breaks the 'in' check below. Putting a typecheck at the beginning of the __eq__ method seems to solve it. Still testing. See the PROPOSED CHANGE BELOW for more info.

DJANGO 1.2 SOURCE - Django-1.2.5-py2.5.egg/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py
       ....
 191 if not self.blank and value in validators.EMPTY_VALUES:
 192 raise exceptions.ValidationError(self.error_messages['blank']

PROPOSED CHANGE BELOW

class Recurrence(object):
    ....
    ....
    def __eq__(self, other):
        if type(other) != type(self): # <- Added
            return False #<- Added

        if not isinstance(other, Recurrence):
            raise TypeError('object to compare must be Recurrence object')
        return hash(self) == hash(other)
