How to store variables in Django?

I want to save some defined variables in Django (simply said, a model class with only one instance).

For that currently I'm making a model and using model.object.get( pk=1 ) to get the variable values.

Other option I know about is creating a simple text file and storing variables(as a dict etc.). And reading through that whenever some change is required.

Is there some other easier way of doing that ?

django-constance is a really good option.

Easily migrate your static settings to dynamic settings.
Admin interface to edit the dynamic settings.

If you're looking to just store a single, static value, then just keeping it in your settings.py is sufficient as others have mentioned.

But if you require that users are able to edit it, may I suggest django-aboutconfig? Disclaimer: I am the maintainer of that plugin
