Installation

1. Download the package on GitHub or simply install it via PyPi

2. Add SeparatedValuesField to your Django model

   # models.py
   from django.db import models
   
   from separatedvaluesfield.models import SeparatedValuesField
   
   
   class Project(models.Model):
       name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
       languages = SeparatedValuesField(max_length=150, choices=(('en', 'English'),
                                                                 ('fr', 'French')), token=',')

3. Sync your database using syncdb command from django command line

The SeparatedValuesField behaves like a CharField which separates values with a token (default is ,).

This field is transformed as a MultipleChoiceField when you are creating a forms.ModelForm with your model.
