I wanted to have a select box for the state with California as the
default. I first tried in my model the following:
state = USStateField(blank=True, default='CA')
This gave me the error "TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected
keyword argument 'default'".
But the following works (i.e., California is the default and I have a
nice select box):
state = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=2,
choices=STATE_CHOICES, default='CA')
Could this be a bug? I am using 1.3.

hi erisa,
please try passing "initial" instead of default.

Changing 'default' to 'initial' gives me an unexpected argument
'blank' error. If I remove the blank=True attribute, there is no
error,
but the select box is absent from the form!

You get that error because 'blank' is model field option. If you want to be able to accept empty values, use required=False instead.
state = USStateField(initial='CA', required=False)
