15 class Profile(models.Model):
 16     """
 17     User profile model
 18     """
 19     user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
 20     country = models.CharField('Country', blank=True, null=True, default='',\
 21                                max_length=50, choices=country_list())
 22     is_active = models.BooleanField("Email Activated")

I have a model like above with country set to blank=True, null=True.

However, in the form that is presented to the end user, I required the country field to be completed.

So I redefine the field in the Model Form like this to 'force' it to become required:

 77 class ProfileEditPersonalForm(forms.ModelForm):
 78 
 79     class Meta:
 80         model = Profile
 81         fields = ('email',
 82                   'sec_email',  
 83                   'image',
 84                   'first_name',
 85                   'middle_name',
 86                   'last_name',
 87                   'country',
 88                   'number',
 89                   'fax',)
 90 
 98     country =  forms.ChoiceField(label='Country', choices = country_list())

So the country field is just an example (there are tons of them). Is there a better more DRY way of doing this?
