A noob question.
I have followed the official Django tutorial and I have the following:

class Question(models.Model):

    question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')



    def __str__(self):

        return self.question_text



class Choice(models.Model):

    question = models.ForeignKey(Question, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    choice_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    votes = models.IntegerField(default=0)



    def __str__(self):

        return self.choice_text

I have tried replacing the Choice.str() code as follows:

def __str__(self):

    return 'Choice for Q: {}'.format(Question.objects.get(pk=self.question_id_id).__str__())

I am trying to view the question related to this choise (when viewed in the admin).
The code doesn't work. What is the correct way of doing this?

Many thanks.

Firstly, you don't need to do an extra query inside the str method.
Secondly, the string formatting needs a string. You are passing a Question object's str method, that is you're basically passing a reference for this function object (Yes, everything is an object in python)

This snippet should solve your issue.

def __str__(self):

    return 'Choice for Q: {}'.format(str(self.question.id))

Try this

def __str__(self):

    return 'Choice for Q: {}'.format(self.question.__str__())
