As pycountry made new changes, the command oscar_populate_countries won’t work.So for an alternate way for populating countries, please follow steps below.

-create a new file say populate_countries.py with the following code:-

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sys
from optparse import make_option

from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand, CommandError

from oscar.core.loading import get_model

Country = get_model('address', 'Country')


class Command(BaseCommand):
    help = "Populates the list of countries with data from pycountry."


    option_list = BaseCommand.option_list + (
        make_option(
            '--no-shipping',
            action='store_false',
            dest='is_shipping',
            default=True,
            help="Don't mark countries for shipping"),
        make_option(
            '--initial-only',
            action='store_true',
            dest='is_initial_only',
            default=False,
            help="Exit quietly without doing anything if countries were already populated."),
    )

    def handle(self, *args, **options):
        try:
            import pycountry
        except ImportError:
            raise CommandError(
                "You are missing the pycountry library. Install it with "
                "'pip install pycountry'")

        if Country.objects.exists():
            if options.get('is_initial_only', False):
                # exit quietly, as the initial load already seems to have happened.
                self.stdout.write("Countries already populated; nothing to be done.")
                sys.exit(0)
            else:
                raise CommandError(
                    "You already have countries in your database. This command "
                    "currently does not support updating existing countries.")

        countries = [
            Country(
                iso_3166_1_a2=country.alpha_2,
                iso_3166_1_a3=country.alpha_3,
                iso_3166_1_numeric=country.numeric,
                printable_name=country.name,
                name=getattr(country, 'official_name', ''),
                is_shipping_country=options['is_shipping'])
            for country in pycountry.countries]

        Country.objects.bulk_create(countries)
        self.stdout.write("Successfully added %s countries." % len(countries))

-move this file to your_apps_folder/management/commands. Make sure that you add __init__.py to management and commands folder.Refer this for help.

-after completing all the above steps, run command as python manage.py populate_country.This command will populate db with countries

Same for me on a 100% fresh installation.

These are my installed packages in the venv:

$ pip freeze
Babel==2.3.4
Django==1.9
django-extra-views==0.6.4
django-haystack==2.5.1
django-oscar==1.3
django-tables2==1.0.7
django-treebeard==4.1.0
django-widget-tweaks==1.4.1
factory-boy==2.8.1
Faker==0.7.5
mock==2.0.0
pbr==1.10.0
phonenumbers==7.7.5
Pillow==3.4.2
purl==1.3
pycountry==16.11.27.1
python-dateutil==2.6.0
pytz==2016.10
six==1.10.0
sorl-thumbnail==12.4a1
Unidecode==0.4.19

UPDATE:

I reinstalled pycountry with the version specified on the requirements.txt (on the github repos), which is 1.8, and then everything ran without any errors. So maybe the preferred installation method is to checkout the github repos first, and then pip install from requirements.txt?
