Generally this is the pattern we've used in our own code:
"""
class Print(meta.Model):
paper_type = meta.IntegerField(choices=TYPE_CHOICES)
module_constants = {'TYPE_CHOICES': TYPE_CHOICES}
def get_paper_type(self):
return TYPE_CHOICES[self.paper_type]
"""
That is, you pass TYPE_CHOICES in module_constants to make it
available to the Django-created module -- then create a custom method.
We're totally open to making a better way to do this. Any ideas?
