Question

I have a problem with django and forms.

In forms.py I have sth like this:

class MyForm(forms.Form):

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    self.answers = kwargs.pop('answers')
    super(AnswersForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    choices = ["aaaa", "ssssssssss", "ddddddddd"]
    self.fields['answers'] = forms.ChoiceField(choices = choices, widget=forms.RadioSelect())

And when i use it in template, I have sth like this:

Answers:

- a
- s
- d

Do you know why I haven’t got all words, but only one letter of the word?

Answer 1

choices should be a list (or other iterable) of two-tuples. The first entry in each tuple is the value that gets stored in the database. The second is the human-readable name.
See the documentation on choices for more information.

Thus, your choices list should look more like this:

choices = [("a","aaaa"), ("s", "ssssssssss"), ("d", "ddddddddd")]

As posted, your code is considering each string (aaaa, ssssssss, etc.) to be tuple-like and grabbing the first letter of each for the database representation, and the second letter of each for the human-readable name (used for the label).
