Component: django.contrib.localflavor | Version: SVN
Keywords: localflavor ca | Stage: Unreviewed

----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
The Canadian localflavor package uses incorrect postal abbreviations for
Newfoundland (NF, should be NL) and the Yukon (YK, should be YT). Previous
bugs: #10365, #8478.
There's a discussion in #10365 about the merits of changing the
abbreviation and potentially breaking existing data. It's a tough
question, since the abbreviation isn't simply an internal representation:
it's a very common use case to use the postal abbreviation in addresses,
and so the current version of ca.localflavor will generate incorrect
output. This doesn't help with the issue of existing data, though, and I'm
not quite sure what to do there.
Two patches are attached. One updates to the correct abbreviations. The
other maintains the current, incorrect abbreviations but normalizes the
correct abbreviations (NL, YT) to the incorrect ones (NF, YK) instead of
rejecting them, as the current version does.
Both patches also include some other fixes and improvements:
- More abbreviations and misspellings are accepted and normalized for
province names
- French province names are now accepted
- CAPostalCodeField accepts and normalizes common postal code formats
('h4u5h7' -> 'H4U 5H7')
