djangostarfield 1.0.post2

Description
This is a simple widget rendering so-called rating stars as input for an
integer field. It is based solely on CSS 3, as laid out by Martin Ivanov.
This is different from other star rating applications in that it provides
only a widget returning its selction to any IntegerField. It is not a
complete rating application, just a presentational widget for integer input.
It is also different in that it depends only on CSS3, without any
JavaScript.
In contrast to others (and to the original work credited above), this widget
also works on browsers that do not support CSS (like text-mode browsers). In
that case, it renders as basic radio buttons with numbers.

Usage
Just add the Stars widget to any IntegerField in a Django form.
from django import forms
from django_starfield import Stars

class StarsExampleForm(forms.Form):
rating = forms.IntegerField(widget=Stars)
The following aspects are configurable, both in the Django settings and when
creating the widget (by passing an argument to Stars):

Please note that some browsers render some Unicode characters, especially
emojis, as images, so changing the font colour will not work.
