Check the bottom of tutorial #1 -
Wait a minute. <Poll: Poll object> is, utterly, an unhelpful representation
of this object. Let's fix that by editing the polls model (in the
polls/models.py file) and adding a
__unicode__()<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/instances/#django.db.models.Model.__unicode__>
method
to both Poll and Choice:
class Poll(models.Model):
# ...
def __unicode__(self):
return self.question
class Choice(models.Model):
# ...
def __unicode__(self):
return self.choice
It's important to add
__unicode__()<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/instances/#django.db.models.Model.__unicode__>
methods
to your models, not only for your own sanity when dealing with the
interactive prompt, but also because objects' representations are used
throughout Django's automatically-generated admin.
