I found this gizmo for doing that sort of thing:

class ShowOnly(forms.Widget):
    """
    Show only the data do NOT have a input field
    """
    input_type = 'hidden'

    def render(self, name, value, attrs=None):
        from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe
        from django.utils.encoding import force_unicode
        if value is None: value = ''
        final_attrs = self.build_attrs(attrs, type=self.input_type,
name=name)
        if value != '':
            # Only add the 'value' attribute if a value is non-empty.
            value = force_unicode(value)
            final_attrs['value'] = force_unicode(value)
        return mark_safe(u'<input%s />%s' %
(forms.util.flatatt(final_attrs),value))
