A django model & fixture containing all data from the countries table of Geonames.org
Project description
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)
Installation
pip install django-countries-plus
Usage
Add countries_plus to your INSTALLED_APPS
Sync your fixtures:
python manage.py syncdb
In your code use:
from countries_plus.models import Country usa = Country.objects.get(iso3='USA')
Enabling the optional middleware:
Follow steps 1 & 2 above.
Add countries_plus.middleware.AddRequestCountryMiddleware to your middleware.
add the following two settings to your settings.py:
COUNTRIES_PLUS_COUNTRY_HEADER - A string defining the name of the meta header that provides the country code. Ex: ‘HTTP_CF_COUNTRY’ (from https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168236-What-does-CloudFlare-IP-Geolocation-do-)
COUNTRIES_PLUS_DEFAULT_ISO - A string containing an iso code for the country you want to use as a fallback in the case of a missing or malformed geoip header. Ex: ‘US’ or ‘DE’ or ‘BR’
Compatibility
Should work on most versions of Django, however if you are using Django 1.7, tests will fail unless you are using Django 1.7.2 or higher due to a bug in earlier versions.
Integrating with django-languages-plus
If you also have django-languages-plus(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-languages-plus) installed then you can run the following command once to associate the two datasets and generate a list of culture codes (pt_BR for example):
from languages_plus.utils import associate_countries_and_languages associate_countries_and_languages()
