Comment:
I don't see the bug here at all. Using this model
{{{
#!python
from django.db import models
from django.utils.encoding import smart_str
class T4921(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(maxlength=50)
def __str__(self):
return smart_str('foo: %s' % self.name)
class Admin:
pass
}}}
and following the instructions in comment 2, the right string is displayed
in the list view. If I change the {{{__str__}}} method to a
{{{__unicode__}}} method (and remove the smart_str() bit, obviously), the
right string is displayed, because the model's default {{{__str__}}} calls
the {{{__unicode__}} method. If I have both a {{{__str__}}} and a
{{{__unicode__}}} method defined, the {{{__str__}}} method is called, but
that's intentional: we have to call one or the other, so we pick one (and
we pick {{{__str__}}} so that it's backwards compatible).
So nothing appears to be providing the wrong result. If you provide a
{{{__str__}}} method, it is called; if you only provide a
{{{__unicode__}}} method, it is used. I'm going to close as invalid for
now. Please reopen with a concrete example like this one that demonstrates
whatever problem you are seeing if you still think there's a bug.
