How to Display Choice Value with Python Django?

To display choice value with Python Django, we call the get_FOO_display() method in our template.

For instance, we write

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    CATEGORY_CHOICES = (
        ('M', 'Male'),
        ('F', 'Female'),
    )
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=200, choices=CATEGORY_CHOICES)
    to_be_listed = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=20000, blank=True)

to create the Person model with the gender field.

Then in our template, we add

{{ person.get_gender_display }}

to return the results of the get_gender_display method where person is a Person instance.
