This preserves type information and lets you use enum methods and comparisons naturally in your code.\n\nThe package provides three field types: TextChoicesField for text-based choices, IntegerChoicesField for integer-based choices, and IntegerChoicesFlagField for bitwise-combinable flags. It depends only on django and typing_extensions, making it a lightweight addition to existing Django projects. The library supports modern Django versions (4.2 through 6.0) and Python 3.10 and later.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, supports current Django and Python versions, and solves a genuine friction point in Django development\u2014the gap between TextChoices/IntegerChoices enums and what you actually get back from the database. Low install friction and permissive licensing make it a straightforward addition to any Django project."},"id":"django-choices-field","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-choices-field","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-choices-field.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-choices-field/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-12-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-choices-field","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Django field that set/get django's new TextChoices/IntegerChoices enum."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":99312,"position":13028,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.0.0"}
