mysql MSFloat fail to be "repr"

[Former user]

How to reproduce

from sqlalchemy.databases.mysql import MSFloat f = MSFloat() repr(f) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.4/types.py", line 124, in repr

AttributeError: 'MSFloat' object has no attribute 'length'

---

This seems to be related to mysql.MSFloat taking an optional 'length' argument, and setting (or not) an attribute.

I see two way of solving the issue : - overload repr in MSFloat - always set the length attribute (I prefer this one, see attached patch)

I forgot to format the source code in the description :

from sqlalchemy.databases.mysql import MSFloat
f = MSFloat()
repr(f)

Leads to :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/types.py", line 124, in __repr__

AttributeError: 'MSFloat' object has no attribute 'length'
