Comment:
Thanks for the ticket, but it sounds like `FloatField` may be more
appropriate for your use case. `IntegerField` is
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/models/fields/#integerfield
documented] as representing integers, and since `int` and `float` are
distinct Python types, and throughout the documentation is the theme that
Django models coerce inputs to proper python types (sometimes implicitly,
elsewhere explicitly in the discussion of
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.Field.to_python
to_python]), I think this behavior is sufficiently documented. Changing
the underlying behavior would introduce backwards compatibility concerns.
