[Python] Best place to initialize a variable from a postgres database table after django...

I have a django project where I have some database tables.

One of the database tables is designed to store messages and their titles. This helps me to create/alter these messages from my django-admin.

Now I want to initialize a variable (as a dictionary) from this table as follows :

MY_MSGS = {record.name : {'title':record.title, 'message':record.message} for record in MyTable.objects.all()}


This must happen at the server startup for now. MY_MSGS must be accessible to the different view-files.

Later I would want to periodically update MY_MSGS by reading MyTable again.

So I want that My_MSGS behaves as a all global to all my view-files and should be initialized after the startup is complete.
