A simple InlineModelAdmin class that enables you to edit models that are bound by the instance via a generic foreign key (content_type, object_id pair)
Use like:
class PlacementInlineOptions( generic.GenericTabularInline ):
model = Placement
extra = 2
ct_field_name = 'target_ct'
id_field_name = 'target_id'

I'm a bit confused about how to use this. Does it require patch #4677 to be applied to my local copy of the NFA branch? I tried simply taking this snippet and creating a generic.py file inside django.contrib.admin. But when trying to use it, I get a NameError exception stating that "global name 'model' is not defined" at line 41.
#
Im guessing this code no longer applies, I get the following error:
ImportError: cannot import name _modelformset_factory
