#1054 closed defect (fixed)

[magic-removal][patch] Change lists in new-admin still use __repr__() instead of __str__()

Description

Although [1042] removed pretty much every use of __repr__() where __str__() should have been in place, the change lists in the admin (i.e, when you click on a pluralized model name in the main admin screen, and get a list of the corresponding objects) looks like it's still using __repr__(). I looked in the admin code but I couldn't find the corresponding call or %r appearance.

Are you sure that you not just have a repr in your list_fields? Happened to me after the change: I forgot to change my repr listings in the list_fields to better fields (or to str), so the repr was still called and of course nothing showed in the view, as everything was angular brackets ...

No, I actually set both __repr__() and __str__() to something unambigous so that I could tell one from the other. The only place in the admin where __repr__() is still used is the change lists, as far as i've seen.
This bug is also obscured by the default python fallback behaviour described in #710.

Does the patch from ticket:889 help here?

Added a fresh patch to take into account recent changes (basically just shifted lines), as it came up as a conflict after a recent svn up on my end.
