Description
When using Python 3.3 and 1.5-alpha-1 (note: underlined unicode() and str() below should have double underscores)
See this section of the tutorial "Why unicode() and not str()?": https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial01/#playing-with-the-api
This section of the tutorial says to add unicode() method to your Model classes so that admin and shell display useful strings. This is correct for Python 2.x, but breaks object display under Python 3.3. str() should be used instead of unicode(). Tutorial probably needs a sidebar or other additional information for users using Python 3.x.
