django 1.6.0: admin pages not using unicode methods declared in my model

[ajendrex]

Hello,

I following the tutorial and realized that the admin pages are not using the __unicode__() methods declared in my model:

One of my classes:

class Company(models.Model):

  name = models.CharField(max_length=20)

  description = models.CharField(max_length=500)

  url = models.URLField(max_length=200)

  createdAt = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

  def __unicode__(self):

    return self.name

But the admin page to view and add companies shows the current list of companies with the label "Company object" instead of the names that I gave to those registers. The same happens with the other classes of my model.

I don't think you want unicode, I think you want:

class Meta:
verbose_name="Company"
verbose_name_plural = "Companies"

...we look at the present day through a rear-view mirror. This is
something Marshall McLuhan said back in the Sixties, when the world
was in the grip of authentic-seeming future narratives. He said, “We
look at the present through a rear-view mirror. We march backwards
into the future.”

That doesn't solve the problem I stated. I still will be seeing a bounch of "Company Object" for every company that I register on the database.

I the image https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/_images/admin04t.png from the tutorial, part 2, we can see how the poll objects are listed by using the result of __unicode__() function. (That's what one understands by reading the tutorial)

No need for that. I've reproduced your problem. With python 3 __unicode__ method is ignored.

We should search for corresponding ticket on trac, or create new one.

Hi. I've just checked - it uses __unicode__() to display object names.

Please show us your full admin.py and models.py

Yes, I'm using python 3. I think there is no ticket for this yet, but I would prefer someone with better english and more time using django posted it.

__str__ method works fine with python 3. 

i will continue searching the truth here and will create ticket (if it will be required after finding truth)

thanks

that's how it's supposed to be according to the six library. kinda
makes sense, since in Py3 all strings are unicode
