Making inlines conditional in the Django admin

Question

I have a model that I want staff to be able to edit up to the date for the event. Like this:

class ThingAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    model = Thing

    if obj.da

In recent version of Django, you'll need to override ModelAdmin.get_formsets. e.g.

class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    def get_formsets(self, request, obj=None):
        if obj:
            for _ in super(MyAdmin, self).get_formsets(request, obj):
                yield _
        else:
            for inline in self.get_specific_inlines(request):
                yield inline.get_formset(request, obj)
