Ahhh, thank you for the clarification and for providing me with a
solution!!! I really appreciate it. :)

For some reason, I never thought to re-arrange the order of the
args/kwargs in the model TestField().

Optimally, I think I would prefer to keep the verbose name in the
first position (as an arg, not kwarg) in order to keep things
consistent.

If you look at fields.py:

<https://gist.github.com/1229708#file_fields.py>

Line #s 13 and 16, I do this:

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self._baz = kwargs.get('baz', None)

But when I do that, I get this error:

File "/.../test/fields.py", line 19, in __init__
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'baz'

Is there a way to pass around keyword arguments (from the model
TestField()) without having to be explicit?

Sorry if noob questions. I still consider myself a Python/Django noobie :)

A billion thanks for all of your help! I really appreciate it.

Have a nice day!

Cheers
Micky
