class AreaForm(form.Form):
area = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=myRegion.objects.all())
See here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/fields/#fields-which-handle-relationships
As the docs say, by default this will use your __unicode__ method - if
you just want the area names, subclass ModelChoiceField and define the
label_from_instance method.
