http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#choices

i've read through the documentation and this implies using a database table for dynamic data, however it states

choices is meant for static data that doesn't change much, if ever.

so what if i want to use choices, but have it select multiple because the data i'm using is quite static, e.g days of the week.

is there anyway to achieve this without a database table?
