     3 2. Adding __str__() or __unicode__() to models

     4 

     5 Although it's not a strict requirement, each model should have a

     6 ``_str__()`` or ``__unicode__()`` method to return a "human-readable"

     7 representation of the object. Do this not only for your own sanity when dealing

     8 with the interactive prompt, but also because objects' representations are used

     9 throughout Django's automatically-generated admin.

    10 

    11 Normally,  you should write ``__unicode__()`` method, since this will work for

    12 all field types (and Django will automatically provide an appropriate

    13 ``__str__()`` method). However, you can write a ``__str__()`` method directly,

    14 if you prefer. You must be careful to encode the results correctly, though.
