django-countries is broken on 1.7b1, with fix

[BernieSumption]

Hi,

In Django 1.7, it became illegal to use ugettext at module import time as the app registry is not ready yet. Django Countries uses ugettext_lazy, so you'd think it would be OK here. However, at line 30 in django_countries/init.py:

                if name:
                    self._countries.append((code, name))

name in this context is a lazy translated string. By testing it for truthiness, it has to be translated. Therefore the module fails to import with "RuntimeError: App registry isn't ready yet"

I'm not sure exactly what use case the condition was put in to support, but either of these changes fixes the issue.

1: removing the condition

                self._countries.append((code, name))

2: Using an identity comparison

                if name is not None:
                    self._countries.append((code, name))

Cheers,

Bernie :o)
