Your problem is probably coming from your models.py

Inside each model, your def __unicode__(self): method probably does not return the unicode name correctly. You can fix this by returning a unicode .

Example:

def __unicode__(self):
    return u'{f}'.format(f=self.fieldName) 

where fieldName is the desired thing you want to show inside your django admin panel. If you provide me with your models.py I can try and change my example to suit your code.

Hope this helps!
