Hi all;
I am working on the official django tutorial
(https//docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/intro/tutorial/02/) on the section
that is adding the choices. Specifically:
# Create three choices.
>>> q.choice_set.create(choice_text='Not much', votes=0)
<Choice: Not much>
>>> q.choice_set.create(choice_text='The sky', votes=0)
<Choice: The sky>
>>> c = q.choice_set.create(choice_text='Just hacking again', votes=0)
The "Not much" entry should return <Choice: Not much> but returns
<Choice: Choice object> instead.
This would seem to be a problem with the models.py def__str__(self)
call, but I can't locate the problem. Question class works fine. The
specific code is :
import datetime
from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone
class Question(models.Model):
question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
def __str__(self):
return self.question_text
def was_published_recently(self):
return self.pub_date >= timezone.now()-
datetime.timedelta(days=1)
class Choice(models.Model):
question = models.ForeignKey(Question, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
choice_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
votes = models.IntegerField(default=0)
def __str__(self):
return self.choice_text
OS Debian Stretch
KDE Desktop
Django 1.9
python 3.5
Eclipse PyDev IDE
All migrations are up to date.
Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Hm, not much can go wrong there. Just to be sure, did you start the shell after you added the __str__ method?

The line is indented 4 spaces yes?

I was having the same issue, as mentioned above, it was a mere indentation problem, make sure the def __str__ is properly indented inside of the class and not at the same level.
