Its not clear how to make use of this snippet? What is required in order to integrate into Django (and the Admin site)?

In PyLucid i put this code into the userprofile model, see: http://github.com/jedie/PyLucid/blob/master/pylucid_project/apps/pylucid/models/userprofile.py

This monkey-patch can be put in every file witch would be one time imported.
