The fields.binary type allows storing arbitrary byte arrays, but it has been used historically to store base64-encoded versions of the binaries. This was partially related to the way these binary values are serialized when transferred using the standard XML-RPC protocol. With the introduction of JSON-based RPC calls alongside the 6.1 web client, these base64-encoded binaries may now be deserialized as unicode ASCII strings instead of 8-bit strings. That seems like an acceptable behavior and we can simply coerce these unicode strings to bytes strings as we know they will be pure ASCII. Any non-ASCII unicode value for binary field makes no sense and should be passed as a byte string directly. Thanks to Rui Barreiros for providing the final hint in bug 919982 comments that lead to the identification of this bug. lp bug: https://launchpad.net/bugs/899794 fixed bzr revid: odo@openerp.com-20120222093937-quifmtsfc9gaa9ar
