Select Box Model

Class Category (db.Model):
       name = db.StringProperty()

Right now, I use this in this fashion (I'm using Django Framework).

In the views.py I make an array

options =["Car", "Motor Bikes", "Bikes", "Apparel"]   

and in the templates I populate it this way

{% for option in options %}
   {% ifequal edit_nw.category option %}
         {{option}}
    {% else %}
         {{option}}     
    {% endifequal %}
{% endfor %}

All I want is to use this options to be a result of model like Category.all(), should have some default data loaded for the entire app. If necessary, Ill add categories from admin panel
