of this object. Let's fix that by editing the polls model (in the
``polls/models.py`` file) and adding a
:meth:`~django.db.models.Model.__unicode__` method to both ``Poll`` and
-``Choice``::
+``Choice``. On Python 3, simply replace ``__unicode__`` by ``__str__`` in the

class Poll(models.Model):

return self.question
class Choice(models.Model):

return self.choice_text
