In Python 3, the __str__() method is called for string representation of your models rather than the awkward sounding __unicode__() method. This is one of the most evident ways of identifying Python 3 ported code:

Python 2 |
Python 3 |
class Person(models.Model):
name = models.TextField() def __unicode__(self):
return self.name |
class Person(models.Model): name = models.TextField() def __str__(self): return self.name |
This reflects the difference in the way Python 3 treats strings. In Python 2, the human readable representation of a class can be returned by __str__() (bytes) or __unicode__() (text). However, in Python 3, the readable representation is simply returned by __str__() (text). ...
