As documented
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/utils/#django.utils.encoding.python_2_unicode_compatible>
you must return *text* and not *bytes* from __str__() when using
@python_2_unicode_compatible. That means six.text_type(self.a) rather than
str(self.a) (which returns bytes on Python 2).
