django-autocomplete-light is an open source app that provides a new approach to auto-complete implementations, specially for . It ships its own auto-complete script, which is different because:

  • 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.
