Development version is up to (1, 6, 0, 'alpha', 0) and 1.6 is intended to support python 3, so the tutorial should mention differences when using python 3

Description
My installation of Django shows django.VERSION as (1, 6, 0, 'alpha', 0). I'm doing everything with the python3 command in Ubuntu 12.10 instead of python, so in other words, I'm using python-3.2
In going through the polls tutorial, the __unicode__()
method wasn't working. I eventually realized (by asking on stackoverflow.com) that when using python 3, there isn't any __unicode__
method since the __str__
method now supports unicode by default.
The development version of the tutorial should be updated to mention that with python 3, you would just use __str__
as usual and that __unicode__
is not necessary and in fact won't even work.
