Answer 1

The __str__ method just tells Django what to print when it needs to print out an instance of the any model. It is also what lets your admin panel, go from this

Note: how objects are just plainly numbered

to this

.

Note: proper object names here

You could choose what to show in the admin panel, as per your choice. Be it a field value or a default value or something else.
