Thanks, Malcolm, but I've been looking at this, and I'm in way over my head here. I found the USStateField in django.contrib.localflavor.us.forms and the associated state in us_states I attempted to create a StateProvinceField that looked more or less like the USStateField, appending my Canadian provinces to the states dictionary. And that's where it went belly up. It didn't work, but I didn't get any error message, so I'm not sure where I went wrong. Definitely not sure about appending the Canada dictionary to the US one. In other words, I just really don't have a clue what I'm doing here.
