Huh? The field doesn't become required. Rather the IntegerField is unable
to validate the value returned in the case where the check box is unchecked:
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jul 31 2008, 23:17:40)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> from django import forms
>>> class OBF(forms.Form):
... x = forms.IntegerField(widget=forms.CheckboxInput(attrs={'value':1}),
required=False)
...
>>> f = OBF({})
>>> f.is_valid()
False
>>> f.errors
{'x': [u'Enter a whole number.']}
The error is not that the field is required, but that the value returned by
the widget cannot be interpreted by the IntegerField.

Don't try to marry a widget that returns one sort of data to a field that is
expecting something else? Seriously, why are you trying to hammer in your
nail with this screwdriver?
