Labeled flags don't work.

[natecox]

I've attempted to get a set of flags that have labels associated with them, as per the README, but it doesn't seem to actually work.

class MyModel(models.Model):
    flags = BitField(flags=(
        ('awesome_flag', 'Awesome Flag!'),
        ('flaggy_foo', 'Flaggy Foo'),
        ('baz_bar', 'Baz (bar)'),
    ))

If I use that verbatim, I get three string flags that are read as ('awesome_flag', 'Awesome Flag!') rather than as Awesome Flag! with a value of awesome_flag (using the admin view).

Saving via the admin also fails, for lack of appropriate value.

What version of django-bitfield do you have installed?

I ran into this too a month ago. The README on the github.com page was for the development version, but I had 1.6.4 installed, which doesn't have labels.

Looks like 1.7.0 is now on PyPi as of May 10th. Maybe time to do pip install --upgrade django-bitfield

1.7 does seem to have labels, but I have to say they're less than intuitive to use unless I'm just missing something entirely. You can't, for example:

o = MyModel.objects.first()
for f in o.flags:
    print f.label # or f.get_label()

instead you seem to have to

for f in o.flags:
    print o.flags.get_label(f[0])

I don't disagree with you. Between this and issues #35 & #28, I'm considering moving away from django-bitfield. Might not be worth dealing with the nuances of django-bitfield to save a few bytes.
