Django Cities import error

I can't get to import data with manage.py cities --import=all, I don't have idea of why this is happening. Here is the log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
  File "/home/julian/.virtualenvs/duenio/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 353, in execute_from_command_line
    utility.execute()

    func()
  File "/home/julian/.virtualenvs/duenio/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cities/management/commands/cities.py", line 312, in import_city
    uptodate = self.download_once('city')
  File "/home/julian/.virtualenvs/duenio/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cities/management/commands/cities.py", line 159, in download_once
    self.download_cache[filekey] = self.download(filekey, i)
  File "/home/julian/.virtualenvs/duenio/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cities/management/commands/cities.py", line 119, in download
    filepath = os.path.join(self.data_dir, filename)
  File "/home/julian/.virtualenvs/duenio/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 75, in join
    if b.startswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'startswith'

These are the cities settings (I have Postgis installed):

DATABASES['default']['ENGINE'] = 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis'

...

CITIES_FILES = {
    'city': {
       'filename': ['CO.zip',],
       'urls':     ['http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/'+'{filename}']
    },
}

The weird part is, I installed django-cities in a new fresh project, and it did work. Do you know how to fix this?

You should use filenames instead of filename when you provide a list of files:

CITIES_FILES = {
    'city': {
       'filenames': ['CO.zip',],
       'urls':     ['http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/'+'{filename}']
    },
}

or alternatively:

CITIES_FILES = {
    'city': {
       'filename': 'CO.zip',
       'urls':     ['http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/'+'{filename}']
    },
}
