Each instance of your model will have a special method name
'get_foo_display', where 'foo' is the name of the field with the
choices. For example:
BLOG_TYPES = (
(1, 'Staff')
(2, 'User')
)
class Blog(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
kind = models.IntegerField(choices=BLOG_TYPES)
Then you could do:
>>> b = Blog.objects.create(title='Official staff blog', kind=1)
>>> b.kind
1
>>> b.get_kind_display()
'Staff'
