Django Country Kit
Django Country Kit is a Django app that provides country-related functionality, including a custom model field for storing country codes, a form widget for selecting countries, and associated tests.
Features

Country Model Field: Easily store and retrieve country codes in your Django models.
Country Widget: A form widget for rendering a dropdown list of countries in your Django forms.

Installation

Install Django Country Kit using pip:
pip install django-country-kit

Add 'django_country_kit' to your INSTALLED_APPS in your Django project's settings:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ...
'django_country_kit',
# ...
]

Run collectstatic:
python manage.py collectstatic

Usage
Country Model Field
In your models, use the CountryField to store country codes:
from django.db import models
from django_country_kit.fields import CountryField

class YourModel(models.Model):
country = CountryField()

For multiple selections:
from django.db import models
from django_country_kit.fields import CountryField

class YourModel(models.Model):
countries = CountryField(multiple=True)

Country Widget
In your forms, use the CountryWidget to render a dropdown list of countries:
from django import forms
from django_country_kit.widgets import CountryWidget

class YourForm(forms.Form):
country = forms.CharField(widget=CountryWidget())

For multiple selections:
from django import forms
from django_country_kit.widgets import MultipleCountryWidget

class YourForm(forms.Form):
countries = forms.CharField(widget=MultipleCountryWidget())

Country Class
The Country class represents a country and provides properties for accessing its name and alpha3 code. This class is part of the Django Country Kit and offers convenient functionality for handling country-related data.
Usage
You can create an instance of the Country class to retrieve information about a specific country. Here's how you can use it:
from django_country_kit.base import Country

# Create a Country instance with a specific country code
country = Country(code='US')

# Retrieve the name of the country
country_name = country.name # Returns 'United States'

# Retrieve the alpha3 code of the country
country_alpha3 = country.alpha3 # Returns 'USA'

Custom settings
Django Country Kit provides custom settings for further customization of country data:

OVERRIDE_COUNTRIES: Allows users to override specific countries with custom data.
EXCLUDE_COUNTRIES: Allows users to exclude specific countries from the available choices.
INCLUDE_COUNTRIES: Allows users to include specific countries in the available choices.

You can customize these settings in your Django project's settings file to tailor the country data according to your needs.
