That will give you a NameError, since "name" does not exist. You want to
do "return self.name" there.

A __unicode__ method must return a unicode string. That's all. How you
construct that string is entirely up to you. If you want to construct it
by putting various attribute values together, that's fine. It's just
Python. So, for example,
return u"%s %s" % (self.name, self.url)
would return a concatenation of the name and url attributes. Season to
taste.
