Django City country

django-cities-tiny Description

django-cities-tiny is a Django app that provides models and commands to import country/zone/city data into your database. The data is pulled from GeoNames and contains: - country names - administrative division zones - city namesSpatial 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.This is a fork of django-cities-light by James Pic. The main difference of django-cities-tiny is: - support for localized names (from alternateNames.txt) - support for administrative division zones (from admin1CodesASCII.txt, admin2Codes.txt, or from XX.txt) - required Django 1.0+, Python 2.3+ and no other dependencesInstallationInstall django-cities-tiny: easy_install django-cities-tinyAdd `cities_tiny` to your `INSTALLED_APPS`.Now, run syncdb, it will create all required tables for models:: ./manage.py syncdbData updateFinnaly, populate your database with command:: ./manage.py citiestinyrefreshThis command is well documented, consult the help with:: ./manage.py help citiestinyrefreshLimiting data to importIf you want to import only cities from France, USA and Belgium you could do as such in your settings.py:: CITIES_TINY_COUNTRIES = ('FR', 'US', 'BE')Configure loggingTo get output from citiestinyrefresh command simply pass the -v2 or or --verbosity=2 option.
