Model.__str__() [source]
The __str__() method is called whenever you call str() on an object. Django uses str(obj) in a number of places. Most notably, to display an object in the Django admin site and as the value inserted into a template when it displays an object. Thus, you should always return a nice, human-readable representation of the model from the __str__() method.
For example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | from django.db import modelsfrom django.utils.encoding import python_2_unicode_compatible@python_2_unicode_compatible # only if you need to support Python 2class Person(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) def __str__(self): return '%s %s' % (self.first_name, self.last_name) |
If you’d like compatibility with Python 2, you can decorate your model class with python_2_unicode_compatible() as shown above.
