Bug#576262: ITP: django-countries -- Provides fixtures, models and flags for countries by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code
Hi, I prepared an upload to mentors.d.n which includes a patch to integrate django-countries with iso-codes. Thanks for all the great feedback! http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/django-countries/django-countries_1.0.2-1.dsc Paul Wise, 2010-04-02 12:11: I suppose so, unless there are some differences. IIRC iso-codes includes lots of translations and django-countries seems to allow for translations to the country names. The translations from iso-codes are now used automatically according to the Django locale settings. I think that's really a great benefit for everyone who is going to use this package. Runtime loading of the iso-codes stuff would be better than build-depends though. The internal country list is now populated at runtime by parsing iso_3166.xml with xml.dom.minidom and it provides the three originally static lists/dicts. As for the icons I'll take a look on how to use them (and possibly the PNG variant too) directly from the famfamfam-flag-* package. Great, please do push the removal dependency upstream too. I notified upstream about my changes but I'm not sure if they will be included because they heavily depend on the availability of Debian packages. My changes will not be useful for people using it on Windows, Solaris, ... As I consider myself a poor writer of documentation someone should eventually take a look at my README.Debian to assure that it's readable and understandable for the average user. There's lots of room for improvements I guess. Kind regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I suppose so, unless there are some differences. IIRC iso-codes includes lots of translations and django-countries seems to allow for translations to the country names. Translations are a major part of iso-codes. We constantly receive updates and release a new version every four weeks. Runtime loading of the iso-codes stuff would be better than build-depends though. You might want to take a look at the package isoquery, which provides a command line program to generate various lists of the XML data. That might be easier for your program to parse.

Quoting Paul Wise (p...@debian.org): Looking at the upstream code, it downloads a file off the ISO website and converts that to python: http://bitbucket.org/smileychris/django-countries/src/tip/django_countries/bin/regenerate.py I wonder if the ISO considers that file to be copyrightable and if so, what the license is. This is one of the reasons for which we (iso-codes maintainers) are maintaining the XML file manually and do not generate it in any way from the various maintenance agencies websites (there are several standards that iso-codes deals with and they're not maintained by the same source in ISO). signature.asc Description: Digital signature
