Autocompleting list of choices with 'other' option in django
It would be helpful to see the model and form.
If you are using a simple charfield in your model and set the choices in the automcomplete class, you should be able to input arbitrary values.
I have a django form element (Musical Instrument) where I'd like to autocomplete from a list of choices (e.g. ['Piano', 'Guitar', 'Drums', 'Bass']), but allow the user to enter something else if it isn't in the list. 
I'm currently using autocomplete-light, but can swap this for something else if need be. 
Any ideas?
