Without seeing your code, its almost impossible to determine the cause of your problem. My initial guess would be that one of three things has happened: 1) You haven't actually saved the models.py file where you have defined the __unicode__() methods. An obvious error, but a surprisingly common one. 2) You haven't restarted your python shell - you've just continued working with an old shell. You need to start a new Python shell session to force the models.py file to be reloaded. 3) You've misspelled __unicode__ in your models.py file. Most likely culprit here - using single underscores rather than double underscores in the method name. The method needs to be called _ _ unicode _ _ (self). If you have used a different name, you won't see an error (since the alternate name will be a valid Python method name) but it won't generate the output you expect. If you post your example code as it currently stands, we may be able to provide more assistance.
