from myproject.myapp.models import BRANCH_KINDS index = [bk[1] for bk in BRANCH_KINDS].index('Auxillary') trunks.get_branch_list(kind__exact=BRANCH_KINDS[index][0]) But it anyway looks strange that you need to make a DB lookup based on values intended only for display purposes and that can be changed any time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
