Comment (by Aymeric Augustin):
Yes, I agree it would be nice to do *something* about this problem.
In your example, `<Transaction: Transaction object>` is the `repr` of the
object, and the `Transaction object` part is the `str` of the object.
Demo:
{{{
>>> class Foo(models.Model):
... class Meta:
... app_label = 'admin'
...
>>> Foo()
<Foo: Foo object>
>>> str(Foo())
'Foo object'
>>> repr(Foo())
'<Foo: Foo object>'
}}}
So we must think about how `__repr__` and `__str__` will behave. Having
`Model.__str__` return `pk=...` regardless of the model type sounds
suboptimal.
