The __unicode__ method is meant to return a human readable representation
of the model object as a unicode.
EG:
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%(id)s' % {'id': self.vm__id}
althought not very human readable is a correct __unicode__ method.
The reason behind you wanting a int number in the __unicode__ method is
strange for me/us.
Also, creating a method just to get the object id doesnt seem too bright.
why not just object.vm__id ?
