How do I need to do it so it's right? A couple of questions: what do you mean exactly by question number? And also, how is it not working? And, for good measure, what would it look like if it were right? As you've written this, it should work fine – when you create a Poll object its data will consist of a number (but no question!), and that number will be returned by the __unicode__ method. You might be trying to retrieve the primary key for Poll2 objects, which is a column that Django usually makes implicitly for you, in the background, unless you specify that you want to do it yourself. If this is the number you want, you can get it in the __unicode__ method as self.pk. That might not really be what you want, though, because that number will increment regardless of deletes or modifications, and you can't (or shouldn't) modify it manually. If you were hoping for a number attribute that you can modify, and use for ordering, etc., let us know, and that should be easy to arrange.
