|

The ``__str__()`` method is called whenever you call ``str()`` on an object. The main use for this method directly inside Django is when the ``repr()`` output of a model is displayed anywhere (for example, in debugging output).
|
||||
Thus, you should return a nice, human-readable string for the object's

|
||||
The ``__str__()`` method is called whenever you call ``str()`` on an
|
||||
object. In Python 3, 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.
