You want to use ChoiceField and RadioSelect:

from django import forms

class GenderForm(forms.Form):
    CHOICES = (
        ('M', 'Male'),
        ('F', 'Female'),
    )
    choice = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CHOICES, widget=forms.RadioSelect())

Remember, Django documentation is your friend!

Dynamically Changing Choices
If you want to be able to dynamically create the form, it might be a good idea to use ModelForm instead of forms.Form. Here’s an example:

from django.db import models
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django import forms

class Answer(models.Model):
    answer = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.answer

class Question(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    answers = models.ManyToManyField('Answer')

class QuestionForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Question
        fields = ('title', 'answers')
        widgets = {
            'answers': forms.RadioSelect(),
        }

In your view instantiate the form with an instance specified to use:

question = Question.objects.order_by('?')[0]
form = QuestionForm(instance=question)

The form will then use the answers associated with that Question (in this case randomly chosen) and pass the form to the templates context as usual.
