3976	[unicode] Unicode models	Ivan Sagalaev <Maniac@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"Models has to output their data from !__unicode!__ method, not !__str!__ as it is used now. I have a working code that does roughly this: changes current !__str!__ to !__unicode!__ and defines a !__str!__ as unicode(self).encode(settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET).

The big part is documenting the change: users should use !__unicode!__ instead of !__str!__ for their model classes. If there's no principal objections I could make a patch."		closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	dev		wontfix		Malcolm Tredinnick Maniac@…	Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
