Indexer fails with null values

[AP]

Hi!

The indexer fails at processing null values in database fields:

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: %d format: a number is required, not NoneType

The affected field is marked with "null=True" in the django model. I
solved this by adding the following line to the convert method of the
Field class (file indexer.py line 34):

8<---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def convert(self, field_value, model):
"""
Generates index values (for sorting) for given field value and its
content type
"""
if field_value is None:
return None
# If it is a model field make some postprocessing of its value
[...]

I'm using djapian 2.3.1 with django 1.2.1
