What were you expecting to see? This output indicates that you are using the default __unicode__ method for the Poll object, which won't be printing any detail of the object itself - just the fact that it is a Poll object. If you retrieve an individual object from the list that has been returned, you will be able to interrogate the individual fields of that object, and you should find that they hold unicode data. Alternatively, you can provide a definition for the __unicode__() method for the Poll class, and it will print whatever you desire (for example the poll title, not just "Poll object") > Can you imagine what they problem might be? No problem here - just a misunderstanding of usage. I'm guessing you're new to Python - by way of guidance, this isn't a Django-specific feature. It's a part of the way the Python shell tells you what objects you are working with. You may find it illuminating to dig into the Python documentation around the __unicode__, __str__ and __repr__ methods.
