@sanderbrauwers Thank you for the report

I'm successfully using it with Django 2.0.6. Please provide a way to reproduce the problem, otherwise I think this can be closed.

I am using it in a production environment using Python 3.7.1 and Django 2.1.4, and I am using it without any problems.

I also can confirm its working on Python 3.6.8 and Django 2.1.7.

However, IMHO, an update to this package may be needed since last release is becoming outdated.

Hey everyone, please try version 0.6

This is still an issue on version 0.6 for me. The issue seems to be surrounding saving bytes to an EncryptedTextField. I'm not 100% sure this is the issue the OP is talking about but I can reproduce with Django 2.2.12 and django-fernet-fields 0.6

Sample Model file

from django.db import models
from fernet_fields import EncryptedTextField

class SampleModel(models.Model):
    text = EncryptedTextField(null=True)

Reproduce script

>>> sample = SampleModel.objects.create(text="data".encode())
>>> sample.text
b'data'
>>> sample.refresh_from_db()
>>> sample.text
"b'data'"

Notice that after refreshing from the DB we've lost the type of bytes and instead we have a string with the byte prefix. I suspect this is related to #22 as well.
