The problem is here – you're calling get_choices, and passing the
result to the ChoiceField as a static list. If you pass get_choices as
a function, it will be called at runtime, whenever the form is
instantiated:
class SomeForm(forms.Form):
field = forms.ChoiceField(choices=get_choices)
Good luck,
