In the magic removal branch, you are correct: Person.height.choices
will give you the original list of tuples used at instantiation. If
you want the list that is used for display purposes, try:
>>> Person.height.get_choices()
This will include "-------" (Undefined) in the list of choices
returned. There are some optional parameterrs on this method if you
need to customize the output; see core/db/models/fields/__init__.py
for details.
In v0.90, v0.91 or trunk, you need to go through the meta object
associated with the model class to get to the Field object that stores
the choices:
>>> Person._meta.get_field('height').choices
>>> Person._meta.get_field('height').get_choices()
