("Duh! Code would be good," says newbie to himself.)
Here's an example from django which I am using, but I asked on this list
since it seems more related to python than the web framework:
class Contact(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
email = models.EmailField(blank=True)
phone = models.PhoneNumberField()
def __unicode__(self):
l=[self.first_name, self.last_name, self.email, self.phone]
res=[]
for x in l:
if x != '':
res.append(x)
return ';'.join(res)
Thanks!
