Allow disabling options in a select widget

HTML allows an option in a <select> to be disabled. In other words it will appear in the list of choices but won't be selectable. This is done by adding a 'disabled' attribute to the <option> tag, for example: `<option value="" disabled="disabled">Disabled option</option>` This code subclasses the regular Django Select widget, overriding the render_option method to allow disabling options. Example of usage: class FruitForm(forms.Form): choices = (('apples', 'Apples'), ('oranges', 'Oranges'), ('bananas', {'label': 'Bananas', 'disabled': True}), # Yes, we have no bananas ('grobblefruit', 'Grobblefruit')) fruit = forms.ChoiceField(choices=choices, widget=SelectWithDisabled())

Generate newforms-admin admin.py file

This is a utility script that scans a models.py file and automatically outputs the corresponding newforms-admin source code - the code that goes into the admin.py file. The purpose is to simplify the migration to newforms-admin. Here is what it outputs: * an import line that lists only the needed classes from the model. * inline editing classes - inheriting from either `admin.TabularInline` or `admin.StackedInline` * admin options classes containing any original `Admin` class contents (`'fields'` is replaced by `'fieldsets'` and the value of `'classes'` is made into a tuple), plus the following fields whose values are determined automatically: `inlines`, `prepopulated_fields`, `filter_horizontal`, `filter_vertical` and `raw_id_fields` * invokations of `admin.site.register` for the generated admin options classes. Example usage of the script (this will generate the admin.py file for the models.py file in the satchmo.product module): >./new-forms-gen.py satchmo.product > admin.py

create and authenticate an anonymous user

If you want anonymous visitors to your site, or parts of your site to be authenticated as real users so that you can treat them as such in your views and models, use this snippet. Add the above AuthenticationBackendAnonymous middleware into AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS in your settings.py and use the snippet anonymous_or_real(request) in your views, which returns a user. Comment out the bit where it creates a profile if you are not using profiles.

Multiple Model Forms feeding a single Form to use with a single FormView

This is a simple example of feeding multiple Forms into a single Form via its constructor method, to work with a single FormView and reap the benefits of Django's awesome Form validation system. It's a Form class that defines (or takes via an argument to its constructor) *parent* Forms (that can, for instance, be ModelForms, to take advantage of the automatic Field generation) and takes its fields from there. An advanced user won't be impressed by this, so excuse if this snippet is out of place, but a rather inexperienced user such as myself might find it interesting and make him willing to explore Django's internals a bit more.
