Django - Deprecate Field

Installation
pip install django-deprecate-fields

Usage
Assume the simple following model:
from django.db import models

class MyModel(models.Model):
field1 = models.CharField()
field2 = models.CharField()

In order to remove field1, it should first be marked as deprecated:
from django.db import models
from django_deprecate_fields import deprecate_field

class MyModel(models.Model):
field1 = deprecate_field(models.CharField())
field2 = models.CharField()

Secondly, makemigrations should be called, which will change the field to be nullable. Any lingering references to it
in your code will return None (or optionally any value or callable passed to deprecate_field as the
return_instead argument)
Lastly, after the changes above have been deployed, field1 can then safely be removed in the model (plus another
makemigrations run)
