I just went through the tutorial again to check what the definition of my __str__() method was and I noticed where the tutorial says to add a custom method to polls/models.py. Before I copied and pasted a whole new object and method to the file instead of adding the custom method to the object. The next bit works now, hurray. Sorry to ask such a stupid question. Thanks a lot for your speedy reply.
