from django_countries.fields import CountryField

Example usage the the pypi documentation.

from django.db import models
from django_countries.fields import CountryField

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    country = CountryField()

>>> person = Person(name='Chris', country='NZ')
>>> person.country
Country(code='NZ')
>>> person.country.name
'New Zealand'
>>> person.country.flag

Thanks! Can you explain how can I resolved the issue on my question? Sorry I'm still new on python – AllenC Jun 01 '14 at 14:33
@AllenChun,you just need to use `from django_countries.fields import CountryField`. The CountryField class in in the is in django_countries.fields.py not in django_countries. You can see it here https://github.com/SmileyChris/django-countries/tree/master/django_countries – Padraic Cunningham Jun 01 '14 at 14:42
