Model decorator python_2_unicode_compatible not recogised, warns missing unicode method

[llnz]

The model decorater @python_2_unicode_compatible can be used to turn a __str__ method return a unicode string (py2 unicode, py3 string) into the required __unicode__ on python 2.

pylint-django currently gives the message [W5101] No __unicode__ method on model (ModelName) for a class like:

@python_2_unicode_compatible
class ModelName(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

See the Django Python 3 porting guide for details: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/python3/#str-and-unicode-methods
