Hi,

We are using Django for our ecommerce site. 

I have some confusion on when the code gets executed in Django. I have a 
django form with a choice field in module m1.py:

class SomeForm(forms.Form):
    field = forms.ChoiceField(choices=get_choices())


def get_choices():
    return some choices


In views.py, I have imported SomeForm:

from app.m1 import SomeForm

class SomeFormView(Formview):
    form = SomeForm
    ...rest of the view code


When I run the django project using ./manage.py runserver, I am surprised 
to see that get_choices gets executed. This is undesirable as I can have a 
Django queryset in get_choices and I do not want unnecessary DB access. 

It would be really helpful if someone can shed some light on the above and 
tell me what exactly is happening. How can I avoid get_choices getting 
executed during django start  or running? get_choices should only get 
executed when SomeFormView is accessed.

Thanks.
