Answer 1

In your python code:

class SiteReach(forms.Form):
    howreach = forms.ChoiceField(label = "How did you reach this site?",
                                 choices = HOWREACH_CHOICES, 
                                 widget = forms.widgets.CheckboxInput())

You'll have to initialize HOWREACH_CHOICES on your own; it's a list of tuples, (option value, option string).

You render radio buttons in the same way:

class Rating(forms.Form):
    rating = forms.ChoiceField(choices = range(1,6),
                               widget = forms.widgets.RadioSelect())

Read the documentation on Widgets; there's a whole universe of utility in there.
