CharField is specified.

Using django 1.9b1 i got this message during execution of makemigrations
command:
{{{
SystemCheckError: System check identified some issues:

ERRORS:
resources.Resource.test: (fields.E008) Invalid 'default' value: Ensure
this value has at most %(limit_value)d characters (it has %(show_value)d).
resources.Resource.test: (fields.E120) CharFields must define a
'max_length' attribute.
}}}

With this code:
{{{
test = models.CharField(
choices=(
('foo','bar'),
),
default='foo',
)
}}}

Adding max_length resolves both errors.
