This app gives you a fairly thorough database to do most geocoding right in Django.

If you have a point, or lat/long you can use one/or multiple model(s) to extract data from that point, zipcode, county, country, state, etc.

The layers are composed of multiple open sources, and you can add models as needed. Addition Layer sources

*add django_geo_world to your INSTALLED_APPS settings.py *run syncdb to create db tables

• All layers are imported by default
• If you want to change default layers loaded, change true/false in world/load.py

To initialize layer data launch:

python manage.py shell

from django_geo_world.world import load
load.run()

Sample app uses PostGre + PostGIS database.

Make sure to enable GIS extensions on your database, more information on how to setup Django + PostGIS
