CITIES_DATA_DIR setting not working #118

Closed pramttl closed 8 years ago

pramttl commented 8 years ago

This setting was introduced recently to allow changing the default directory where files are downloaded to in the local filesystem. (By default they are downloaded to ..site-packages/cities/data/)

CITIES_DATA_DIR='/var/data'

But I noticed that, even after having this setting configured in my settings.py file. The files were still downloaded to /path/to/site-packages/cities/data/ instead of /var/data as defined by this setting.

Did you install from github, or on older version from pip?

@coderholic Oops, I used the pip version. That may be the reason.
