Adding __str__() or __unicode__() to models + +Although it's not a strict requirement, each model should have a +``_str__()`` or ``__unicode__()`` method to return a "human-readable" +representation of the object. Do this not only for your own sanity when dealing +with the interactive prompt, but also because objects' representations are used +throughout Django's automatically-generated admin. + +Normally, you should write ``__unicode__()`` method, since this will work for +all field types (and Django will automatically provide an appropriate +``__str__()`` method).
