Description

Like the us_states list, but for the UK.

I'd like to point out that I got the lists of counties from various web based resources (listed in the file itself), so I can't vouch 100% for their accuracy.

Patch needs improvement: set

A few comments/suggestions:

  1. Probably want each list to be in alphabetical order.
  2. I don't think the list of Scottish counties is correct; I think the ​regions listed on Wikipedia may be a better list (see below). Also, as these aren't technically counties, maybe we should use the term regions throughout for accuracy and consistency.
    • Borders
    • Central Scotland
    • Dumfries and Galloway
    • Fife
    • Grampian
    • Highland
    • Lothian
    • Orkney Islands
    • Shetland Islands
    • Strathclyde
    • Tayside
    • Western Isles
  3. The values for display should be wrapped using gettext to allow for translation (such as into Welsh or Gaelic).
  4. Add a tuple of UK nations for completeness:
    • England
    • Northern Ireland
    • Scotland
    • Wales
  5. When #4412 (add support for <optgroup>) is completed, it would be good to have all the lists in a hierarchy, keyed by nation.

For true parity with some of the other localflavor contributions, this should include Field subclasses for the various options (e.g., django.contrib.localflavor.us.forms provides a USStateField which populates from the list of US states).

David, it looks like you've done a mass find and replace of "county" -> "REGION". This has had the unintended side effect of renaming the Northern Ireland counties, which should be called "County ...".

Other than that it looks good!

Ugh, well spotted frasern!

I've now fixed that.

Is a field actually required, since you can just use the choices from the file in the patch in a formfield.
