Setting __all__ in fields raises a FieldError

[czpython]

Django allows forms to define fields = '__all__' to avoid listing all fields in the model, unfortunately this causes the following error:

django.core.exceptions.FieldError: Unknown field(s) (a, l, _) specified for HvadModel

Definitely. Looks not too hard to add and worth the trouble for ensuring APIs match.
No ETA though, I am in the middle of Turkey posting from a cybercafe right now.

Take your time my friend, enjoy Turkey :)

Fixed on master.
As a sidenote, not setting fields at all, or setting fields = None used to have exactly the same result. The __all__ thing is a recent addition to Django. And what Django does with it is pretty straightforward: if meta.fields == '__all__': meta.fields = None.

The new whistle will be supported from 1.7.0.
