Dynamically change admin widgets at runtime

django-adminwidgetswap =============== adminwidgetswap is used for dynamically swapping out widgets from django's generated admin. This allows applications to be packaged generically without the need for WYSIWYG dependencies editors- giving the application consumer the freedom to chose admin widgets without modifying original app source.
