Replace U.S. State freeform text field with dropdown list about django-oscar-paypal HOT 3 CLOSED

This is a pesky shortcoming of the PayPal API. Since PayPal can be used in lots of countries other than the US, we can't use a US state dropdown by default. Individual projects can do this if they only ship to the US.

In 849b577, I've added a snippet that attempts to use short versions of state names using the localflavor package. This handles the example here and should be an improvement overall.

Could we have the U.S. State field appear conditionally if the user selects U.S. as the country? Or are you saying that the State field is used by other countries, to mean Province in Canada for example?

Thanks for adding the localflavor fix. I think that might be sufficient for now, but eventually we may want to replace it with a dropdown just to be extra safe.

The state field is used by other countries, so you would need to use javascript to dynamically change the widget when the US country is selected. A bit fiddly.
