[Answered ]-How to organize checkboxes in several columns in Django forms

You don’t need to change anything in Python code, but you’ll need to layout the form in the template instead of using {{ form.as_ul }}. You can iterate over the form to get the fields. For the simplest possible approach, something like the following could put twenty fields in two columns of ten:

{% for field in form %}
  {% ifequal forloop.counter 11 %}</ul><ul>{% endifequal %}
  <li>{{ field }}</li>
{% endfor %}

Personally I never use the as_* helper methods in real code, as far as I’m concerned they’re only useful for rough prototyping.
