Django admin filter is broken for enum fields

[jansegre]

The url that django generates for filers (field__exact=x) ends up using str(some_enum) instead of some_enum.value for x.

This is can be tested by adding a field_x (which is an enum field) to the filters = ('field_x',) of a registered model admin.

The README says to use:

from enumfields.admin import EnumFieldListFilter

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
  list_filter = [('color', EnumFieldListFilter)]

which seems to work well combined with:

list_display = [
    ...
    '_color',
    ...
]

@staticmethod
def _color(obj):
    return obj.state

to force column values to be formatted the same as the filter.

Thanks! This is what I was looking for. I don't know how I missed it.

If there is normal any way to make this automatic I'd be glad to help.
