Description (last modified by )
The help_text_for_field function in contrib/admin/utils returns 'None'  if field.help_text is None.
Needs to  following statements:
       if hasattr(field, 'help_text'):
            help_text = field.help_text
TO:
help_text = getattr(field, 'help_text', '')

Closing as "won't fix" pending a justification of why support for help_text=None is needed.
  Note:

Is there a reason for using
help_text=Noneas opposed to an empty string?
