html.file

include the following if you are using forms

<script src="{% static 'smart-selects/admin/js/chainedfk.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'smart-selects/admin/js/chainedm2m.js' %}"></script>

models.py

class Continent(models.Model):
        name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
        def __str__(self):
            return self.name

    class Country(models.Model):
        continent= models.ForeignKey(Continent)
        name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
        def __str__(self):
            return self.name

    class City(models.Model):
        continent= models.ForeignKey(Continent)
        country= ChainedForeignKey(Country, chained_field="continent",  chained_model_field="continent", show_all=False, auto_choose=True, sort=True)
        name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
        def __str__(self):
            return self.name

    class Neighborhood(models.Model):
        continent= models.ForeignKey(Continent)
        country= ChainedForeignKey(Country, chained_field="continent",  chained_model_field="continent", show_all=False, auto_choose=True, sort=True)
        name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
        city= ChainedForeignKey(City, chained_field="country",  chained_model_field="country", show_all=False, auto_choose=True, sort=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
        def __str__(self):
            return self.name

UPDATE - MAY 2017

include this tag right after jQuery version 2 . It works perfrectly well in Django 1.10 and 1.11 version using python 3.5.2. Hope this helps you

<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'smart-selects/admin/js/chainedfk.js' %}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'smart-selects/admin/js/chainedm2m.js' %}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'smart-selects/admin/js/bindfields.js' %}"></script>

This looks alright. The problem might be that you haven't set up the smart_selects urls, or perhaps you're missing the javascript in your actual page.
