Description
The default str() function provides a rather impractical output and almost every time the developer has to change it to get the summary of the model. I suggest a more elaborate default str() function which outputs the field names with their datatypes(A skeletal schema).Maybe it could also print the complete data with the field name and their values?
This is an example of what it could output.
<QuerySet [
<Question: (<django.db.models.fields.AutoField: id>, <django.db.models.fields.CharField: question_text>, <django.db.models.fields.DateTimeField: pub_date>) object (1)> ]>
