Read-only field with pre-populated data in django form

Question

I have following snippets,

# models.py
class Test(models.Model):
    username = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    email = models.EmailField()


# forms.py
class TestForm(forms.ModelForm):
    username = forms.CharField()
    email = forms.EmailField()

    class Meta:
        model = Test
        fields = ('username', 'email')


# views.py
def test(request):
    email = "example@example.com"
    """
    How to pass and show the 'email' in django form/template?
    """
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = TestForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return redirect('home')
    else:
        form = TestForm()
    return render(request, 'test.html', {"form": form})

How can I show and re-use the value of email variable (ie,example@example.com) in Django form/template as a read-only field?

@BrianH. `disabled=True` doing the job ***partially***. It's not showing the value of `email` field — JPG, Oct 15 '18 at 13:38

try to do this way:

class TestForm(forms.ModelForm):
    .....
    email = forms.EmailField(initial='{{ context.email }}', disabled=True)
    .....

context, passed from view, should have 'email'
