Widget for editing CommaSeparatedIntegerField with a set of checkboxes. Each checkbox corresponds to single integer value. So, choices should be pre-defined for widget.

Example

Assume, we need a registration form for some event with time frame for 3 days, starting at Monday. User can select any of 3 days, so we need to show 3 checkboxes.

Here's the basic example for such form:

class EventRegistrationForm(forms.Form):
    days = forms.CharField(widget=NumbersSelectionWidget(
                    ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed'], range(1, 4)))
