I ran into an interesting forms issue today which I came up with a solution 
for. Now I'm wondering if there's a better way.

Situation:

I have a forms.Form with several fields in it, including a ChoiceField. The 
values in this ChoiceField are dependent on what the user has access to. Many 
users will only have one possible option. 

Desire:

Users with multiple options will see the ChoiceField in the form.
Users with only one choice will not see the ChoiceField, but the single 
possible value will be available during form validation.

Solution:

In the event that there's only one option, the __init__ of the form sets the 
field's initial value, changes the input widget to a HiddenInput, and sets the 
label to an empty string.

This works fine, but seems a little hacky. Has anyone come up with a cleaner 
option?

Thanks,
Shawn
