Django dynamically restricting a form to specified fields

I want to know how best to dynamically restrict which fields are part of a ModelForm instance. Specifically,

class ModelWithManyFields(models.Model):
    many fields ....

class FormOfSelectedModelFields(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = ModelWithManyFields
        fields = [  a dynamic list for model fields determined by the view  ]

What is the best way to create an instance of FormOfSelectdModelFields() with a list of fields dynamically determined by some logic inherent from the view?

Well, you probably want to create something like factory for this ModelForm.

In simple case you probably just want to use https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#modelform-factory-function
