No, __str__() is the function called any time Python has to convert
your server instances to a string. The main use of that being when
we call print() - because print converts all its arguments to str().

No, that would result in load have strings to deal with but it uses
numbers and that's how it should be!

You have done it correctly, you just aren't using it because you are not
printing a server object.
