Only showing year in django admin, a YearField instead of DateField?

I found this solution which solves the whole thing quite elegantly I think (not my code):

import datetime
YEAR_CHOICES = []
for r in range(1980, (datetime.datetime.now().year+1)):
    YEAR_CHOICES.append((r,r))

year = models.IntegerField(_('year'), choices=YEAR_CHOICES, default=datetime.datetime.now().year)

Edit the range start to extend the list 🙂
