3597	UnicodeDecode error when ChoiceField(w=RadioSelect) has Unicode choices	Georgi Stanojevski <glisha gmail com>	Malcolm Tredinnick	"When I have a form like this, note the choices with unicode data I get an UnicodeDecodeError.

I attached a patch which just replaces the __str__ method with __unicode__ for RadioSelect widgets in django/newforms/forms.py +232.

It seems to work.

{{{
#!python
class aform(forms.Form):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(aform, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['aradio'].choices = [('1',u'јуникод'),('2','latin')]

    aradio = forms.ChoiceField(choices=(), widget=RadioSelect())

  f = aform()
  f.as_ul()
}}}

I get an UnicodeDecodeError.
