Couldn't you just use `choices` for that? Specify the possible values and their 'decoded' versions in a 2-tuple, set the field's choices parameter to that constant, and you would automatically get a `get_FOO_display()` method which would show the 'decoded' value instead of the original one. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
