     2 2. Adding __str__() to models

     3 

     4 Although it's not a strict requirement, each model should have a ``__str__()``

     5 method to return a "human-readable" representation of the object. Do this not

     6 only for your own sanity when dealing with the interactive prompt, but also

     7 because objects' representations are used throughout Django's

     8 automatically-generated admin.
