Hello Victor, You should avoid performing database queries at module loading level as the code will necessary crash if the database is missing or unmigrated.
I suggest you lazily define widgets instead by using a cached property[0] class PlaceWidget(widgets.MultiWidget): def __init__(self, attrs=None): # Bypass MultiWidget.__init__ to allow lazy definition of widgets. super(widgets.MultiWidget, self).__init__(attrs) @cached_property def widgets(self): return ( ... # the _widgets you defined in your __init__. ) This should make sure the Country.objects.order_by('name') query is only executed when .widgets is accessed for the first time on a PlaceWidget instance instead of at initialization time.
