Hi all,
I've got a question regarding __unicode__ and issue #20366[0]. Django
explicitly encourages the use of __unicode__ on models[1], which
would
not be available on IronPython. Also, they have some lazy evaluation
functions that depend on differences between str and unicode, and
default to using __unicode__. Now, these differences could be worked
around in Django, but I wonder if that's the right place for them.
There's *unlikely* to be an easy fix in IronPython any time soon,
although I would love to be proved wrong. The Django team have
*explicitly* said that they are open to patches (or even just bug
reports) to make Django compatible with IronPython.
I
also have no idea how this will play out under 3.0.
Django is not expecting to move to Python 3 for quite some time as I
understand it.
I'm working around by checking `str is unicode`; I'm not sure there's
really a better option.
That sounds like a good solution to me.

I still think the partial-fix I suggest in that issue would be much
better than the current situation...
All the best,
Michael
