Comment:
I'm reopening this ticket because I don't think
[http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10308#comment:3 Adrian's reasoning]
is sound, based on the fact that there are non-US states in the
us_states.py module, such as:
* American Somoa
* Guam
* Northern Mariana Islands
* Puerto Rico
* Virgin Islands
I would also point to the USStateField documentation:
{{{
#!python
class USStateField(Field):
"""
A form field that validates its input is a U.S. state name or
abbreviation.
It normalizes the input to the standard two-leter postal service
abbreviation for the given state.
"""
}}}
Which, rather plainly, states that the intent of the field is to represent
two-letter postal service abbreviations.
If we're to believe us_states.py should only represent the 50 states with
a star on the flag, we need to patch the us_states.py module to remove the
US territories listed above.
