""" This monkeypatches Django to support the __html__ protocol used in Jinja templates. Form, BoundField, ErrorList, and other form objects that render HTML through their __unicode__ method are extended with __html__ so they can be rendered in Jinja templates without adding |safe. Call the patch() function to execute the patch. It must be called before django.forms is imported for the conditional_escape patch to work properly. The root URLconf is the recommended location for calling patch().
