Comment (by kmtracey):
Ha, I am able to reproduce, but I also find there's no need to do any
fancy metaclass stuff to see similar behavior. A simple class based on
object, that provides its own implementation of `__unicode__` behaves the
same way:
{{{
>>> class X(object):
... def __init__(self, x):
... self.x = x
... def __unicode__(self):
... return unicode(self.x)
...
>>> x = X(5)
>>> unicode(x)
u'5'
>>> unicode(type(x))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unbound method __unicode__() must be called with X instance as
first argument (got nothing instead)
>>>
}}}
Given that, I don't see how this is a bug in Django instead of a bug in
the debugger. (And I'd expect it to have trouble with other Django
classes -- plenty of which define `__unicode__` -- are forms really its
only trouble spot?)
