serializerfields.PhoneNumberField not validating int number correctly

[dionysio]

I have a serializer:

class MySerializer(Serializer):
    phone = PhoneNumberField(required=True)

and in my view:

serializer = MySerializer(data=request.data)
if serializer.is_valid():
    phone = serializer.validated_data['phone'].as_e164

This doesn't work if I pass phone=15417543010 (int number). In that case, it passes validation, but serializer.validated_data['phone'] will be None.

yep, it works fine with strings

the phonenumber filed here according to the to_python logic here should raise a type error in case it is unable to parse and give back results. It checks for the phone number of type str and phonenumber type instance for now. I can take a look at this further and f course I might be missing valuable context in my insight.
