#25462 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)

Move __unicode__ documentation and its notice after __str__

Description

In the other model instance methods doc we start by documenting by a notice about __unicode__ vs __str__ followed by the actual __unicode__ and __str__ documentation.

Because of the way blocks are arranged it's not clear the notice is about __unicode__ vs __str__ or and not other model instance methods in general.

Since the tutorial is oriented toward Python 3 I would suggest we reorder the doc blocks as follow:

  1. __str__;
  2. __str__ vs __unicode__ notice;
  3. __unicode__.

It should make it clear the notice is about interaction of both methods and express our preference toward Python 3.

Actually this whole section would benefit of a small rewrite with Python 3 in mind.

I think I would remove the heading/and method annotation for __unicode__ and leave it mentioned in a note box under __str__ with a title like "Using Python 2?".

Makes sense to me.
