Constants in model, that point to certain objects in database

I would like to achieve something like this:

class MyModel(models.Model):
....

CONST = MyModel.objects.get(id=1)

The problem is, that during class definition <module>_mymodel table
might not exist or there might not be those objects there.

Of course I could do it like this:

class MyModel(models.Model):

@classmethod
def CONST1(Class):
return Class.objects.get(id=1)

but I don't like it, because I would have to call a constant, rather
than just access it and it is against our coding conventions. I though
about having a metaclass, that would add __getattr__ to MyModel, that
would be used during run time, but Model subclasses can't have own
metaclass.

So, is there any other way?

What I am thinking, is attaching those constants after table are
created _and_ fixtures are loaded. Is there any hook in django, that I
could use?
