I was in the same situation as you and I found this solution...
in your models.py:
import datetime
YEAR_CHOICES = []for r in range(1980,
(datetime.datetime.now().year+1)): YEAR_CHOICES.append((r,r))
so, your field can now use YEAR_CHOICES:
year = models.IntegerField(_('year'), max_length=4,
choices=YEAR_CHOICES, default=datetime.datetime.now().year)
