Better way to use Django’s SelectMultiple in Google App Engine for a ListProperty

So my last post was a quick hack attempt at this, but I have come up with a much cleaner method of getting a GAE ListProperty field to work with Django Forms (newforms). You simply have to create a new form field called ListPropertyChoice:

from django.newforms.fields import MultipleChoiceField
from appengine_django.models import BaseModel

class ListPropertyChoice(MultipleChoiceField):

    def clean(self, value):
        """ extending the clean method to work with GAE keys """
        new_value = super(ListPropertyChoice, self).clean(value)
        key_list = []
        for k in new_value:
            key_list.append(BaseModel.get(k).key())
        return key_list

You can then use this in your forms:

...
from fields import ListPropertyChoice

class Form(djangoforms.ModelForm):
    my_model = ListPropertyChoice(
                        widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple(),
                        choices=[(m.key(), m.name) for m in db.Query(MyModel)]
                    )
    class Meta:
        model = ParentModel

Obviously you can use both the SelectMultiple widget and the CheckboxSelectMultiple widget and this same process could be easily duplicated for ChoiceField:

class GAEChoiceField(ChoiceField):
    def clean(self, value):
        """ extending the clean method to work with GAE keys """
        value = super(GAEChoiceField, self).clean(value)
        return BaseModel.get(value).key()
