About Constants in Django
Keep model-related constants at the model level instead of the module level. You can save some extra imports in the views, forms or middlewares, and will have a clear namespace.
articles/models.py:
class Article(models.Model):
DRAFT = "d"
PUBLISHED = "p"
PUBLISHING_STATUS_CHOICES = (
(DRAFT, _("In preparation")),
(PUBLISHED, _("Published")),
)
publishing_status = models.CharField(
_("Publishing status"),
default=DRAFT,
choices=PUBLISHING_STATUS_CHOICES,
max_length=1,
)
<h1>
{{ article.title }}
{% if article.publishing_status == article.DRAFT %}
(draft)
{% endif %}
</h1>
