This add-on provides models and commands to import country/city data into your database. The data is pulled from GeoNames and contains:
country names
optional city names
Spatial query support is not required by this application.
This application is very simple and is useful if you want to make a simple address book for example. If you intend to build a fully featured spatial database, you should use django-cities.
Installation
Install django-cities-light:
pip install django-cities-light
Or the development version:
pip install -e git+git@github.com:yourlabs/django-cities-light.git#egg=cities_light
Add cities_light to your INSTALLED_APPS.
You may not need the city model and database table. A project like betspire.com doesn’t need it for instance. So the City model will be made ‘abstract’ if this setting is set as such:
CITIES_LIGHT_ENABLE_CITY=False
Now, run syncdb, it will only create tables for models that are not disabled:
./manage.py syncdb
Note that this project supports django-south.
Data update
Finally, populate your database with command:
./manage.py cities_light
This command is well documented, consult the help with:
./manage.py help cities_light
Documentation
Move on to the complete documentation for details, particularely how to filter what cities you want to import.
