django-teryt

django-teryt is a Django app that implements TERYT database. TERYT (Polish: “Krajowy Rejestr Urzędowy Podziału Terytorialnego Kraju”, English: “National Official Register of Territorial Division of the Country”) is a register maintained by Polish Central Statistical Office (Polish: Główny Urząd Statystyczny; GUS). Among other things it contains:

• identifiers and names of units of territorial division,
• identifiers and names of localities,
• identifiers and names of streets

This app parses XML files from GUS and it imports them to the database. It is meant to be used as a part of a larger system.
