You shouldn't have to do that if the data is available in your view. It
should be as easy as passing a dict as "initial" to your form instance you
create in the view:
form = MyForm(initial = {"foo"=True, "bar"=True}
with the field names (instead of foo and bar) of the check boxes you want
checked. Your form then should have them checked when it is rendered.
