Does str still work in python ver3? How do i convert object to string output?

Question

I'm very new to python and django..When i tried to follow the tutorial on djangoproject.com i am unable to produce my object as a string despite trying different variations of the code including the following. I am using python 3x

Trial 1

class Question(models.Model):
    question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
    def __str__(self):
        return self.question_text

Trial 2

class Question(models.Model):
    question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
        return str(Question)

Trial 3

class Question(models.Model):
    question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
        print(Question)

Typing this

Question.objects.all()

Still shows

<QuerySet [<Question: Question object]>

Instead of

<QuerySet [<Question: What's up?>]>

Please help!!!!!

Lists use repr for their elements. Do `__repr__ = __str__` and it will work. You don't need to define a separate method this way. — Mad Physicist, Mar 02 '17 at 04:08
