'Why does backtick string conversion work sporadically in my Django application?

I am writing a Django application, and I often use the Python backtick operator to convert integers to strings.

Recently, I found that a form in my application was broken. After rewriting several backticks into str(), the application was fixed.

Specifically, where course is an object, I changed

``course.id \

into str(course.id) to fix the application.

When does the backtick operator work, and when does it not?

python django
