However it looks like you have a __unicode__ method that is using a capital S in a format string instead of a lower case s, so that would be one thing to look for. Karen p.s. The problem with the missing end-of-traceback when running under Python 2.6 or higher is fixed in current SVN for both the 1.1.X branch and 1.2. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
