Description

ModelChoiceField and ModelMultipleChoiceField cache the output of their queryset the first time self.choices is accessed. This is bad for long-running processes, such as mod_python, because the cache gets stale. Plus, it's bad saving all of those choices in memory. The attached unit tests illustrate the problem.

(In [4552]) Fixed #3534 -- newforms ModelChoiceField and ModelMultipleChoiceField no longer cache choices. Instead, they calculate choices via a fresh database query each time the widget is rendered and clean() is called
