About localflavors

Django’s localflavor packages offer additional functionality for particular countries or cultures.

For example, these might include form fields for your country’s postal codes, phone number formats or government ID numbers.

The localflavors code used to live in Django proper – in django.contrib.localflavor – but was separated into standalone packages in Django 1.5 to keep the framework’s core clean.

For other localflavor packages, see https://github.com/django/
