In Python 2, the object model specifies :meth:`~object.__str__` and
|
||||
:meth:`~object.__unicode__` methods. If these methods exist, they must return
|

` __unicode__()`_ methods. If these methods exist, they must return

exists, and otherwise falls back to :meth:`~object.__str__` and decodes the

result with the system encoding. Conversely, the
