25730	base.Model __str__ sometimes returns unicode on Python 2	Kevin Turner	Simon Charette	"base.py contains `from __future__ import unicode_literals`

so the """" that `Model.__str__` returns is a unicode object in the case where `hasattr(self, '__unicode__')` is False.

There's a `force_text().encode()` on the other case; probably both cases should use `smart_str`.

Discovered under Django 1.7 but this looks to still be the case in the master branch."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	dev	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	1	0
