Yes, it doesn't work for me. I am extending forms.Form unlike ModelForm as in the pointed question. — Nullpoet, Sep 26 '12 at 19:02

You can use disabled attribute.

one_or_two = forms.ChoiceField(widget=forms.RadioSelect(attrs={'disabled': 'disabled'}), initial='1')

The form value will never be sent, and if it's mandatory then this wont work. – Olivier Pons Jan 30 '22 at 21:48
