How to create a custom field in django?
There are two classes, each of which has a field that has the same choices, validators and form name but different column names in a table in the database:
class MyField(models.CharField):
def __init__(self):
self.choices = (
(1, "choice1"),
(2, "choice2")
)
self.verbose_name = "Das ist mein field"
self.validators = [MaxLengthValidator(1), ]
class A(models.Model)
a_field = MyField()
class B(models.Model)
b_field = MyField()

The Zen of Python
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
Is this a joke or some kind of trick? Why do you need to create a separate class when you can just write
CHOICES = (
(1, "choice1"),
(2, "choice2")
)
class A(models.Model):
a_field = models.SmallIntegerField(choices=CHOICES)
class B(models.Model):
b_field = models.SmallIntegerField(choices=CHOICES)
