Description

ChoiceField & MultipleChoiceField take a default widget argument in init, and it make impossible to override widget attribute on class level in subclasses. Instead of

class MyChoiceField(ChoiceField):
   widget = RadioSelect
..........
foo = MyChoiceField(choices=(....))

one must call it with widget argument every time:

foo = MyChoiceField(choices=(....), widget=RadioSelect)

Max, in the future please create your diffs from the root of the django repository. This makes things a bit easier for anyone trying to use the patch. Thanks.

(In [5053]) Fixed #3821 -- Added a widget class attribute to ChoiceField and
MultipleChoiceField. This makes them consistent with other field classes and
make subclassing easier. This is a backwards compatible change. Thanks, Max
Dekachev.
