A Django form widget which displays help text for individual items in a set of radio buttons.
It overrides the RadioSelect widget, adding a small bit of HTML after each <input> element, with the help text for each item.
It was developed for a Django Dash project I'm working on (called transphorm.me), so isn't as feature-rich as it could be, but if you have any trouble installing it - or if I've miscopied any of my code in my rush - please let me know.
