django-countries-plus 0.3

A django model & fixture containing all data from the countries table of Geonames.org

django-countries-plus provides a model and fixture containing all top level country data from Geonames.org (http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/countryInfo.txt)

This package also provides a convenience middleware that will look up a country in the database using a defined meta header, ex: the Cloudflare provided geoip META header HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY. This country object will be attached to the request object at request.country

The model provides the following fields (original geonames.org column name in parentheses).

• iso (ISO)

• iso3 (ISO3)

• iso_numeric (ISO-Numeric)

• fips (fips)

• name (Country)

• capital

• area (Area(in sq km))

• population (population)

• continent (continent)

• tld (tld)

• currency_code (CurrencyCode)

• currency_name (CurrencyName)

• phone (Phone)

• postal_code_format (Postal Code Format)

• postal_code_regex (Postal Code Regex)

• languages (Languages)

• geonameid (geonameid)

• neighbors (neighbours)

• equivalent_fips_code (EquivalentFipsCode)
