Question

How can I make the radio select required?
The only way I can think of now is to overwrrite

my_list_choices = ( (1,'Yes'),(0,'No'),)

widgets = {
    'my_radio_field' : forms.RadioSelect(choices=my_list_choices),
}

edit:
My model is as follows

class MyModel(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=32, blank=True, verbose_name='name')
    bool_a = models.BooleanField(blank=False, verbose="bool") 

I am trying to create a required radio box YES/NO to populate bool_a

Unless I’m much mistaken, when using a form, you can have the form.is_valid() check in your views.

I have a site where this goes down and have a file field as well as radio widget. If I don’t select one of them (or both) and press submit, the page reloads and prints out the error (field required).

form = myform(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
        # do something awesome
return render_to_response(...)

Helpful?
