This, again wouldn't work on our production server, I think because it is running Python 2.3 still (but there could be some other reason). Just for completeness, the fix I used in the end was to make a custom field which rendered with a list of folders from the filesystem.

function to generate choices list
Hi, I'm trying to pre-populate a choices list for a CharField from some folders on the file system, I was doing this by calling a function within the models.py which assigned the list of folders to a variable which was then used in the charfield. This all worked perfectly using the development server, however, when deploying the site under apache2/mod_python I find that this list only ever gets updated when apache is restarted. I had vaguely thought of using a signal((pre| post)-init) to create the list as a global variable, but that didn't seem to work. Does anyone, please have any idea how I could do this?
