django modelsTypeError: decoding str is not supported

I'm a beginner trying to view a basic queryset with two records. I'm not able to process the request. Looking for some help.

class TestVenue(models.Model):
    venue_name      = models.CharField(max_length=40)
    venue_city      = models.CharField(max_length=20, null=True, blank=True)
    venue_province  = models.CharField(max_length=20, null=True, blank=True)
    venue_shortcode = models.CharField(max_length=20, null=True, blank=True)
    timestamp       = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    update          = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) 
    my_date_field   = models.DateField(auto_now=False, auto_now_add=False)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.venue_name

my views.py is pretty simple

def venues_listview(request):
    template_name = 'venues_list.html'
    queryset = TestVenue.objects.all()
    context = {
        "object_list": queryset
        }
    return render(request, template_name, context)

from the shell i want to see my queryset but i get the following error:

>>> from venues.models import TestVenue
>>> TestVenue.object.all()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'TestVenue' has no attribute 'object'
>>> TestVenue.objects.all()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

  File "C:\users\frank\desktop\test_env\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\base.py", line 589, in __repr__
    u = six.text_type(self)
  File "C:\users\frank\desktop\test_env\src\venues\models.py", line 14, in __str__
    #         return self.venue_name

I rebooted my computer and it's now working. I had tried starting and stopping the server but that had not fixed the issue. Thanks for the help.

Your error is in this line,

TestVenue.object.all()

It should be,

TestVenue.objects.all()

objects is the attribute which calls the default manager, not object.
