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.

Usage

import countrynames

assert 'DE' == countrynames.to_code('Germany')
assert 'DE' == countrynames.to_code('Bundesrepublik Deutschland')
assert 'DE' == countrynames.to_code('DE')
assert 'DEU' == countrynames.to_code_3('Germany')

Non-standard country codes

  • XK or XKX - Kosovo
  • EU or EUU - 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.
