Django: Country drop down list?

I have a form for address information. One of the fields is for the address country. Currently this is just a textbox. I would like a drop down list (of ISO 3166 countries) for this. I'm a django newbie so I haven't even used a Django Select widget yet. What is a good way to do this?

Hard-code the choices in a file somewhere? Put them in the database? In the template?

django drop-down-menu django-forms country django-widget

Check out "choices" parameter of a CharField.

You might also want to take a look at django-countries.
