django-currencies allows you to define different currencies, and includes template tags/filters to allow easy conversion between them. Usage

Once you have everything set up (read the included INSTALL.txt and docs/), you will be able to use the following code in your templates::

{% change_currency [price] [currency_code] %}

{% change_currency product.price "USD" %}

{% change_currency product.price CURRENCY.code %}

or use the filter::

{{ [price]|currency:[currency] }}

{{ product.price|currency:"USD" }}

or set the CURRENCY context variable with a POST to the included view::

{% url currencies_set_currency [currency] %}

django-currencies has builtin integration with openexchangerates.org.

You will need to specify your API key in your settings file::

OPENEXCHANGERATES_APP_ID = "c2b2efcb306e075d9c2f2d0b614119ea"

You will then be able to use the management commands "initcurrencies" and "updatecurrencies". The former will create any currency that exists on openexchangerates.org with a default factor of 1.0. It is completely optional and does not require an API key.

The updatecurrencies management command will update all your currencies against the rates returned by openexchangerates.org. Any missing currency will be left untouched.

I'm using nose along with nosedjango

The settings.py is inside the tests/ directory, so you'll need to cd to it, and::

nosetests -v --with-django
