Restricting import?

[timmyomahony]

I'm confused by the import configuration settings and general workflow.

• Can I supply the files to be imported into the DB myself (by downloading manually and placing in the correct data folder), in other words can I skip the "download" stage of the import command
• Can I restrict what countries, cities etc. are imported? For example, I only want US cities to be imported.

Thanks

I don't know about 1 point. About 2:

You can see whole list here:
http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/

CITIES_FILES = {
     'city': {
        'filenames': ["US.zip"],
        'urls':      ['http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/'+'{filename}']
    },
}

What about the regions / postal codes? There is no way to filter for these models
