the 'default' keyword argument should work, but be sure to use the
stored-value (first) element from the stored/representation tuple you use.
ie if your UNITS tuple is defined
>>> UNITS = ( ('in', 'Inches'), ('cm', 'Centimeters'), )
you'll want to use
>>> class MyModel(models.Model):
>>> units = models.CharField(maxlength=2, choices=UNITS, default='cm')
