Comment:

 I'd like to reopen this issue or create a new one for expanding the
 documentation. It's very slim on the whole __str__ method in python 2 and
 specifically doesn't deal with abstract classes. I just spent quite a bit
 of time debugging this issue, where I had the __str__() method defined in
 the abstract class and repeated the decorator on derived classes. I'm
 guessing this is the error and somehow things get screwed when doing it
 like that. No matter what I returned in the abstract class I got the
 recursion error. When I finally reimplemented the method in the derived
 class and gave back a simple string literal, things went ok.
 I'm still figuring out how to deal with it, cause what I really want to
 return is a property of a foreign key.
 Anyway, reopen this, or create a new one?
