Description: Django Postal Codes
        ===================
        
        A simple data model for storing postal codes with placenames and location.
        
        Getting data
        ------------
        
        Postal code data is available from a number of sources, typically on a country
        by country basis. The United States Census Bureau maintains the `Gazetteer
        database <http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/gazette.html>`_, including
        detailed zip code data. The `GeoNames geographical database
        <http://www.geonames.org/export/>`_ also provides postal code data for
        international postal codes (and other places).
        
        Rather than include data files which may be of little to no use for many
        users, you can import data from the aformentioned sources, or use one of two
        SQL files I've made available based on the GeoNames data. Each file contains a
        multi-value insert and has been tested in PostgreSQL. The same queries should
        work in MySQL, although they will require modification to be of use with
        Sqlite.
