Answer by Steven B for Using Factory Boy with GeoDjango PointFields

Faker already has some nice geo features. You can create you own provider to make it work for Django, for example:

import factory
from faker.providers import BaseProvider
from django.contrib.gis.geos import Point

class DjangoGeoLocationProvider(BaseProvider):

    countries = ['NL', 'DE', 'FR', 'BE']

    # uses faker.providers.geo
    def geolocation(self, country=None):
        country_code = country or factory.Faker('random_element', elements=self.countries).generate()
        faker = factory.Faker('local_latlng', country_code=country_code, coords_only=True)
        coords = faker.generate()
        return Point(x=float(coords[1]), y=float(coords[0]), srid=4326)

Which will generate Django compatible Points for the given countries.

After registering it:

factory.Faker.add_provider(DjangoGeoLocationProvider)

You can use it in your DjangoModelFactory like any of the built-in providers:

from factory.django import DjangoModelFactory as Factory

class PlaceFactory(Factory):

    class Meta:
        model = Place

    location = factory.Faker('geolocation')
    # or
    another_location = factory.Faker('geolocation', country='NL')
