A library to map country names to ISO codes.
Project description
countrynames
This library helps with the mapping of country names to their respective two or three letter codes. The idea is to incorporate common names for countries, and even some limited misspellings, as they occur in source data.
There is also support for fuzzy matching, which uses a heuristic based on Levenshtein distance.
Usage
import countrynames
assert 'DE' == countrynames.to_code('Germany')
assert 'DE' == countrynames.to_code('Bundesrepublik Deutschland')
assert 'DE' == countrynames.to_code('Bundesrepublik Deutschlan', fuzzy=True)
assert 'DE' == countrynames.to_code('DE')
assert 'DEU' == countrynames.to_code_3('Germany')
Non-standard country codes
XKorXKX- KosovoEUorEUU- European Union
For some dissolved countries (e.g. SUHH for Soviet Union) and sub-regions
(e.g. GB-SCT for Scotland) special codes are defined and returned from both
to_code and to_code_3.
