Uppercase charfield

I have defined a field in Django 

zip_code = models.CharField(_('Zip code'), max_length=19, blank=True, null=True)

In the moment, I need that each letter to be capitalized for that field. I use this field in formlayout.py file : 

        Row(
            Column('city', css_class="s12 m5"),
            Column('state', css_class="s12 m5"),
            Column('zip_code', css_class="s12 m2"),
        ),

How could I capitalize zip_code without overriding the field itself? Could I create a @property method in which I will transform this field? What is the best place to put this method? utils.py? views.py? models.py?

For example, if originally zip_code is j3w 1w7, then I want it to become J3W 1W7

Assuming you have a form or model form, the easiest thing to do is to add a clean_<fieldname> method.

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
    ...

    def clean_zip_code(self):
        return self.cleaned_data['zip_code'].upper()
