django - Can not iterate a ChoiceField with Select as widget -

i have issues iterating on choicefield , building own html values , labels. when specifying "widget" parameter select, field not longer iterable.

however, works fine if specify radioselect.

the form:

class myformcreate( form ) :     quotes = (             (34, "hi, patrick. wait, i'm patrick!"),             (21, "i pie."),              (76, "no, patrick!"),     )     patrick = choicefield(choices = quotes, widget = select) 

and template:

<select name="{{form.patrick.name}}">     {% option in form.patrick %}     <option value="{{option.choice_value}}">{{option.choice_label}}</option>     {% endfor %} </select> 

what doing wrong?

(python 2.7.3 , django 1.4.5)

would you're looking for?

<select name="{{ form.patrick.name }}">     {% value, text in form.patrick.field.choices %}         <option value="{{ value }}">{{ text }}</option>     {% endfor %} </select> 

also, white space friend. :)
