Simple alternative to django-cities
Project description
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
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.
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
