Make a Django model read-only?

Question

What it says on the tin. Is there a way to make a Django model read-only?

By this I mean a Django model in which once records have been created, they can\'t be edite

In addition to other solutions: If your main goal is to avoid write access from the admin, you can modify the used admin class so that nobody has an add/change permission:

class HistoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    def has_add_permission(self, request):
        return False

    def has_change_permission(self, request, obj=None):
        return False

    def has_delete_permission(self, request, obj=None):
        return False
