from django.forms.widgets import Select
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe
class PrepolutatedSelect(Select):

        if value is None: value = ''
        if value == '':
            value = int(name.split('-')[1])+1
        final_attrs = self.build_attrs(attrs, name=name)
        output = [u'' % flatatt(final_attrs)]
        options = self.render_options(choices, [value])
        if options:
            output.append(options)
        output.append('')
        return mark_safe(u'\n'.join(output))

Maybe this will work for you too.
