The problem with Django's default Radio button widget is that it puts the buttons in a vertical format and the documentation is somewhat silent on how to make them horizontal. If you are dealing with a long list of buttons then veritical is probably the way to go but if you are dealing with "YES/NO" situation or any other boolean choice then you will probably want them horizontal.

Basically I just took the code and even the explanation from here:

from django.forms.widgets import RadioSelect

class HorizRadioRenderer(RadioSelect.renderer):
    """ this overrides widget method to put radio buttons horizontally
        instead of vertically.
    """
    def render(self):
            """Outputs radios"""
            return mark_safe(u'\n'.join([u'%s\n' % w for w in self]))

class HorizRadioSelect(RadioSelect):
    renderer = HorizRadioRenderer
