Defining __str__ for the user-friendly string is better practice, but it does change the output slightly, particularly at the interactive prompt. There was a thread about this recently: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/9f6f205e0f9cbc8e/# > From tutorial02: <QUOTE>By default, Django displays the ``repr()`` of > each object.

OK, for all of these, all I can suggest is to just wait a little longer and it will be fixed. The tutorials are some of the last documents that have not been given papal blessing yet. > As an aside, when I specify --pythonpath to django-admin startproject it > would be nice if the resulting manage.py inherited the setting.
