"""Subclass of Django ModelForm that fixes some label and help_text issues.
The default behavior of ModelForm is to use the verbose_name in all
lowercase, capitalizing only the first character, as the displayed field
label. This class uses verbose_name unaltered as the visible field label
instead.
The Property classes used by the App Engine Datastore do not have a
help_text parameter to their constructor. In a Model class, a help_text
attribute *can* be added to the property after it is created, but the
help text will not be automatically passed along to the Django ModelForm.
This class detects the presence of a help_text attribute and adds it to
the corresponding form field object.
ugettext_lazy() proxies used for internationalization in the Model will
still work correctly with this new behavior, as long as the original
strings are used as the translation keys.
