It is up to you. The purpose of the __unicode__() method
is to return nice and human readable Unicode string
that represents the object. It is used for example
in the admin mode that was designed to be general for
whatever model. Whenever the admin template needs to display
textual representation of the whole record as a string, it simply
calls the function for getting a string representation of the whole
object. The function calls the __unicode__() method that
is implemented by you. Whatever you want to see in the case
should be created by your definition of the method. Try to
put there strings that you can be sure they are yours -- just to
see what the method is called for.
Try
u'{}#{}***{}_{}'.format(self.project_and_task,
self.project_number, self.date_created, self.requested_by)
Also, you are not forced to display all the parts of the record.
It is only for the display purpose. It should be just a string
that represents the record. You probably want to put something
meaningful there.
Have a look at http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#unicode
and http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html#object.__unicode__
