Django address book address

django-cities-light 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- optionnal city namesSpatial query support is not required by this application.django-cities-light is a very simple Django app that's 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.InstallationInstall django-cities-light:pip install django-cities-lightOr the development version:pip install -e git+git@github.com:yourlabs/django-cities-light.git#egg=cities_lightAdd 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=FalseNow, run syncdb, it will only create tables for models that are not disabled:./manage.py syncdbData updateFinnaly, populate your database with command:./manage.py cities_lightThis command is well documented, consult the help with:./manage.py help cities_lightFiltering data importAn example is worth 1000 words: if you want to import only cities from France, USA and Belgium you could do as such:import cities_lightdef filter_city_import(sender, items, **kwargs): if items not in ('FR', 'US', 'BE'): raise cities_light.InvalidItems()cities_light.signals.city_items_pre_import.connect(filter_city_import)Note: this signal gets a list rather than a City instance for performance reasons.Configure loggingThis command is made to be compatible with background usage like from cron, to keep the database fresh. So it doesn't do direct output. To get output from this command, simply configure a handler and formatter for cities_light logger. For example:LOGGING = { 'version': 1, 'disable_existing_loggers': False, 'formatters': { 'simple': { 'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s' }, }, 'handlers': { 'console':{ 'level':'DEBUG', 'class':'logging.StreamHandler', 'formatter': 'simple' }, }, 'loggers': { 'cities_light': { 'handlers':, 'propagate': True, 'level':'DEBUG', }, # also use this one to see SQL queries 'django': { 'handlers':, 'propagate': True, 'level':'DEBUG', }, }}Ajax autocompleteIf ajax_selects from django-ajax-selects, you should have two new channels usable right away:- cities_light_country- cities_light_cityProduct's homepage
