''If __unicode__() doesn't seem to work''
''If you add the __unicode__() method to your models and don't see any
change in how they're represented, you're most likely using an old version
of Django. (This version of the tutorial is written for the latest
development version of Django.) If you're using a Subversion checkout of
Django's development version (see the installation docs for more
information), you shouldn't have any problems.''
This section tells you to make a django update if nothing changes. But
this will happen anyway. Need to call
{{{
python manage.py shell
}}}
Before the model updates in the shell, or maybe just execute
{{{
from mysite.polls.models import Poll, Choice
}}}
...don't know exactly.
My suggestion:
1. Move this info down (where the shell is started again)
2. Add a sentence to the info: "You have to exit (Ctrl-d) and start again
("python manage.py shell") before this changes are active."
Would prefer 2, but that's up to you guys.
Whatever, this tutorial is very very very accurate and easy to follow. But
this part was a little bit misleading. So I thought I make a ticket.
