Choosing between ``__str__()`` and ``__unicode__()``
----------------------------------------------------
+.. note::
+
+ If you are on Python 3, you can skip this section because you'll always
+ create ``__str__()`` rather than ``__unicode__()``. If you'd like
+ compatibility with Python 2, you can decorate your model class with
+ :func:`~django.utils.encoding.python_2_unicode_compatible`.
+
One consequence of using Unicode by default is that you have to take some care
when printing data from the model.
