Computed field on TabularInline (StackedInline)

Django admin doesn't provide list_display attribute on its inline admin classes. That's right, since the only supposed view for those classes is editable form. So, to display a result of custom function's call, it needs to add the name of the function (that can be declared either on the admin or model classed) to both fields and readonly_fields.

Example:
class StatsInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Stats
    fields = ('clicked', 'shown', 'avg')
    readonly_fields = ('avg',)
    verbose_name = 'Stats'
    verbose_name_plural = 'Stats'
    can_delete = False

    def avg(self, obj):
        return float(obj.clicked) / obj.shown if obj.shown else 0

P.S. float conversion is needed to avoid casting result to int (e.g. 1/2=0, float(1)/2=0.5)
