How to display a boolean property in the django admin

Question

As we all know, displaying a method return value as boolean in the Django admin is easily done by setting the boolean attribute:

class MyMo

If you define is_something as a property, it will be an immutable object, instead of a function, but that object contains a reference to the decorated getter in the fget attribute. I think that the Django admin interface use the getter of that property, thus this may works

class MyModel(models.Model):
    @property
    def is_something(self):
        if self.something == 'something':
            return True
        return False
    is_something.fget.boolean = True
