These decorators can be used to make some model/form fields readonly.

Sample usage:

# Use this decorator on form with readonly fields.`
@modelform_with_readonly_fields`
class FooAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):`

...

# This decorator shoud be used to protect selected fields `
# from modification after initial save.`
@has_readonly_fields`
class Foo(models.Model):`
    read_only_fields = ('name', )`

...

Result will be the same as shown in this post: Readonly field and Readonly model field
