Description
Hi guys.
I have a problem with the tutorial "Writing your first Django app, part 1" starting from position:
>>> from polls.models import Question, Choice # Make sure our __str__() addition worked. >>> Question.objects.all() [<Question: What's up?>] # Django provides a rich database lookup API that's entirely driven by # keyword arguments. >>> Question.objects.filter(id=1) [<Question: What's up?>] >>> Question.objects.filter(question_text__startswith='What') [<Question: What's up?>]
In all cases I receive:
[<Question: Question object>] instead of [<Question: What's up?>]
I have Ubuntu 15.04_64 and run Python 3.4.3 via "python3 manage.py shell", because Ubuntu has built-in Python 2.*
My code is like:
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): # __unicode__ on Python 2 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) choice_text = models.CharField(max_length=200) votes = models.IntegerField(default=0) def __str__(self): # __unicode__ on Python 2 return self.choice_text
If something wrong with the code, maybe is it possible to edit this section in tutorial to make it a bit clearer? Or is this problem somewhere else?
Thanks.

Hm, I don't see an obvious problem then. Please see TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels for more ways to get help and reopen this ticket if there's something we should add to the docs after you get it working. Thanks!
Did you "start a new Python interactive shell by running
python manage.py shell
"? If you use the old one, the new methods won't take effect.
