Django: Access given field's choices tuple
This is pretty much ok to import your choice mapping FILE_STATUS_CHOICES from models and use it to get Pending by P:
from my_app.models import FILE_STATUS_CHOICESprint dict(FILE_STATUS_CHOICES).get('P')get_FIELD_display() method on your model is doing essentially the same thing:
def _get_FIELD_display(self, field): value = getattr(self, field.attname) return force_text(dict(field.flatchoices).get(value, value), strings_only=True) And, since there is a flatchoices field on the model field, you can use it with the help of _meta and get_field_by_name() method:
choices = f._meta.get_field_by_name('name')[0].flatchoicesprint dict(choices).get('P')where f is your model instance.

I recommend using Choice from django-model-utils: https://django-model-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/utilities.html#choices.
I use it in every my models if I need choice field. See examples, it has excellent options.
