Could you explain what the IntegerChoices class is in the context of Django or another framework?

In Django, the IntegerChoices class is used to define a set of constants with integer values that can be used as choice options for model fields (for example, IntegerField). It provides a convenient way to specify a limited set of valid values with understandable labels.

Example usage:

from django.db import models

class Status(models.IntegerChoices):
    DRAFT = 1, 'Draft'
    PUBLISHED = 2, 'Published'
    ARCHIVED = 3, 'Archived'

class Article(models.Model):
    status = models.IntegerField(choices=Status.choices, default=Status.DRAFT)

Here, Status is a subclass of IntegerChoices, where each element is a pair (value, label). This improves code readability and simplifies working with value choices in the database and interface.
