$(document).ready(function() {
/* Init the table */
$('#process_table').dataTable({
'sPaginationType': 'full_numbers',
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "{% url get_countries_list %}",

That's a broad question. ;-)

You can theoretically add it all with JavaScript. That being the case, you can further decide to add it on a row-by-row basis (fnRowCallback; you will likely need an extra null column in aoColumns and your HTML to hold the checkbox), or if the table is only initialized once (you don't need to worry about refreshing it except on page refresh) you could even add it with an external JavaScript function to add all the checkbox cells and checkboxes.

Or, you can add it with Python, injecting the extra cells/checkboxes on the server side.

There's no "right" way to do it, just ways that are better suited to your purposes. Myself, I prefer the fnRowCallback method.
