http://code.google.com/p/django-global-contact/ At first glance, building a model that can read address formats from a database for forms and output should be fairly straightforward, but input validation is much more difficult to do. I'll probably end up with very loosely validated US-style addresses (with a "not in US or Canada" state option as a stopgap for the non- North-American folks), and then implement some sort of global solution if the site takes off. It's looking like the return on effort isn't worth it at this point.
