trouble loading FloatProperties that are integral numbers (but cast to floats when saving the Document )

[Doug Snyder]

I'm working with float data on the interval [-1,1]

So most of the time the data is not integral but sometimes it is ( -1,0,1)

I am using  FloatProperty to store these values.

Even if the data are integral they are cast to floats when storing the vals in my Document's FloatProperty

I am sure of this. There is only one section in my code that creates my Document

But when I load the data and use it to instantiate my Document subclass,

I get this error in some cases:

Property max0 must be float instance, not a int

but this only occurs if max0 is -1,0, or 1

it seems like the Document class is not able to handle a float from the json

coming from CouchDB that is integral even when its stored originally as a float.

Is this what's going on?

is there a work around?

I don't know exactly what's going on here, but if you want to preserve precision as best as possible, I think it's best to store your values as strings in JSON.

mmm how is the document sent and stored on couchdb?
