Geodjango: PointField and GEOSGeometry

The accepted answer is incorrect. Points take the form of "POINT(longitude latitude)". You've reversed them.

You can surely do that, but with a slight modification

point = GEOSGeometry('POINT(%s %s)' % (lon, lat))

OR

point = GEOSGeometry('POINT(%d %d)' % (lon, lat))

When you do

`'POINT(lat lon)'`

you are not replacing the local variables lat and lon with their appropriate local variable values, and they are being evaluated literally. So, you would need to use substitution.

EDIT: Changed order of (lat, lon) to (lon, lat) to match the order GEOSGeometry is expecting. Although not explicitly stated in the documentation, it is evident from their examples.
