Re: __unicode__() addition not working in basic poll application.

Hi I am having the same issue:

I am using Python 2.7, and Django 1.6.

Here is my code for models.py:

import datetime

from django.db import models

from django.utils import timezone

# Create your models here.

class Poll(models.Model):

    question = models.CharField(max_length=200)

def __unicode__(self):

return self.question

pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')

def was_published_recently(self):

return self.pub_date >= timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

class Choice(models.Model):

    poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)

    choice_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    votes = models.IntegerField(default=0)

def __unicode__(self):

return self.choice_text

I have restarted the shell and this is what I get as a result:

bash-3.2$ python manage.py shell

Python 2.7.6 (default, Dec 19 2013, 06:00:47) 

[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> from polls.models import Poll, Choice

>>> Poll.objects.all()

[<Poll: Poll object>, <Poll: Poll object>]

>>> exit()

bash-3.2$ python manage.py shell

Python 2.7.6 (default, Dec 19 2013, 06:00:47)

>>> from polls.models import Poll, Choice

>>> Poll.objects.all()

>>> 

Any help would be great...

Cheers,

Steve

trojactory has the right idea.

__unicode__ has two underscores on either side of _ _ unicode _ _

If you don't spell __unicode__ with two underscores on both sides, you are not overriding the default method __unicode__

You are getting the default output for __unicode__ instead of the expected.
