What's happening is that in your code, Django is working out the
options at compile time. To make them dynamic, put the code in the
__init__ method of the form - that way they'll be computed each time
the form is instantiated.
However, you may find that an easier option is to use a
ModelChoiceField rather than a basic ChoiceField:
def myForm(forms.Form):
mod = ModelChoiceField(aModel.objects.all())
See http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/#modelchoicefield
