Django forms question

I want to generate a form from a model. However one of the fields in the model is a CharField, whose value is mostly "Option1" "Option2" or "Option3". If the user chooses "Other" I would like him to be able to type the value of the field.

How can I do this without having to write a whole form by hand?

I think one only way could be to build your own widget and associate that widget with that CharField on a ModelForm

Django Widgets

UPDATE

Here's a sample custom widget implementation that inherits from TextInput:
