Description (last modified by )
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial01/
On the above mentioned page, the tutorial tells me to write a __unicode__()
method to get a human-readable representation of my object. I tried but it didn't work. I then found out that since I'm using Python 3.3 I have to define a method __ str __()
. Since there's a block debating whether to use __str__()
or __unicode__()
anyways, may it would be useful to add a hint for Python 3.x users to always use __str__()
.
Regards,
Fabian

I guess you missed this paragraph: "This tutorial is written for Django 1.5 and Python 2.x. If the Django version doesn’t match, you can refer to the tutorial for your version of Django or update Django to the newest version. If you are using Python 3.x, be aware that your code may need to differ from what is in the tutorial and you should continue using the tutorial only if you know what you are doing with Python 3.x."
The latest version of the tutorial for Django 1.6 has notes for Python 3 (#19211).
