Easy way to make all form fields read only?

Semi-new to Django and working on my first "real" app, and I have a need based on the user's credentials to display forms as either editable or read-only. (Note this doesn't have anything to do with the Django admin in case that has any bearing on the discussion.)

Is there some fancy whiz-bang filter or middleware-type doo-dad (you can tell I'm still learning all the terminology) that would easily make all form fields read only?

I thought about using javascript (this is an internal app so we can mandate javascript be enabled) but before I went that route figured I'd ask if anyone has had to do this and how they approached it.

Personally I think it's weird to show someone a form they can't edit as opposed to just dumping them to a static display page, but wasn't my call.

Thanks!
