django.contrib.gis.utils.srs

Take a GDAL SpatialReference system and add its information to the spatial_ref_sys table of the spatial backend. Doing this enables database-level spatial transformations for the backend. Thus, this utility is useful for adding spatial reference systems not included by default with the backend:

>>> from django.contrib.gis.utils import add_srs_entry
>>> add_srs_entry(3857)
