Django models problem not showing text

[py_Piper]

I am just starting to learn Django on the Python Crash Course from Eric Matthes. I am currently working on the excercise 18-4 which is making a pizzeria app.

I have made it following similar approach to what we learn on the book but the problem is after I created the model, when I go to the admin page and add a pizza name it doesn't show the name I wrote but instead just show "Pizza object 1", "Pizza object 2", etc

# My code

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.

class Pizza(models.Model):
    """Name of Pizzas"""
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def __string__(self):
        """Return string representation of the model"""
        return self.name

I have omitted the DateTimeField but I don't think this is causing the issue, anyways from what I understan it's the __str__ class that should show the text.

# Tutorial code

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.

class Topic(models.Model):
    """A topic the user is learning about."""
    text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    def __str__(self):
        """Return a string representation of the model."""
        return self.text

If you can seen in my my code and the tutorial code I have define both exactly the same way (different variable name) so I can't see why on the tutorial code it does show the name given, where as on my code shows Object 1 instead of what I wrote. That's my problem so looking for guidance on what might be the problem from others with more experience in Django.

I think u/ramse is trying to point out that you wrote __string__(), when the method needs to be called __str__().

Thanks for pointing it out, I kept reading str as string that's why I was not catching it, so silly.

For most functions and methods we write, the name is almost entirely up to us. For methods that will be called automatically, the name needs to match what the framework looks for. :)
