newforms, form_for_model, and FilePathField

[James]

Hi,

Quite new to both Django and python.

I'm trying to create a form using form_for_model with a model that has
a FilePathField as one of it's attributes. The documentation for
FilePathField states that the path parameter is the "absolute
filesystem path to a directory from which this FilePathField should
get its choices. "

My question is, given the implication of choices in the above, does
this mean that I should expect form_for_model to output that attribute
as a select tag? (It doesn't; it's just a plain text input.) Is that
how it worked with the old form framework? If yes, is that how it will
eventually work with newforms?

Thanks,

James
