  • it expects the auto-complete to be rendered on the server side, which makes any kind of customization much simpler,
  • it doesn't take any action when a choice is selected. Instead it just triggers a event, which makes it usable for any kind of purpose.

It is also called django-autocomplete-light because the Python API relies on Django widgets and no hack. This makes it portable and usable in any Django form, including in the admin.
