__unicode__ and u'%s'?

[Victor Hooi]

heya,

What's the recommended best practice for printing model fields in __unicode__?

Currently, I'm using (simply because the Django docs do):

    def __unicode__(self):

        return u'%s' % (self.name)

What's the rationale behind using the unicode literal u'%s'? Is it always needed, versus just return self.name?

And should I be using .format() instead? Or using something else?

Cheers,

Victor

Hi,

just ensure that your files and DB connection are using Unicode and

return self.name will be enough.
