- Description: =========
- pycountry
- =========
-
- pycountry provides the ISO databases for the standards:
-
- 639
- Languages
-
- 3166
- Countries
-
- 3166-2
- Subdivisions of countries
-
- 4217
- Currencies
-
- 15924
- Scripts
-
- The package includes a copy from Debian's `pkg-isocodes` and makes the data
- accessible through a Python API.
-
- Translation files for the various strings are included as well.
-
-
- Countries (ISO 3166)
- ====================
-
- Countries are accessible through a database object that is already configured
- upon import of pycountry and works as an iterable:
-
- >>> import pycountry
- >>> len(pycountry.countries)
- 246
- >>> list(pycountry.countries)[0]
- <pycountry.db.Country object at 0x...>
-
- Specific countries can be looked up by their various codes and provide the
- information included in the standard as attributes:
-
- >>> germany = pycountry.countries.get(alpha2='DE')
- >>> germany
- <pycountry.db.Country object at 0x...>
- >>> germany.alpha2
- 'DE'
- >>> germany.alpha3
- 'DEU'
- >>> germany.numeric
- '276'
- >>> germany.name
- 'Germany'
- >>> germany.official_name
- 'Federal Republic of Germany'
-
- Note that historic countries, defined by the ISO 3166-3 sub-standard are not
- included in this list.
-
- Country subdivisions (ISO 3166-2)
- =================================
-
- The country subdivisions are a little more complex than the countries itself
- because they provide a nested and typed structure.
-
- All subdivisons can be accessed directly:
-
- >>> len(pycountry.subdivisions)
- 4548
- >>> list(pycountry.subdivisions)[0]
- <pycountry.db.Subdivision object at 0x...>
-
- Subdivisions can be accessed using their unique code and provide at least
- their code, name and type:
-
- >>> de_st= pycountry.subdivisions.get(code='DE-ST')
- >>> de_st.code
- 'DE-ST'
- >>> de_st.name
- 'Sachsen-Anhalt'
- >>> de_st.type
- 'State'
- >>> de_st.country
- <pycountry.db.Country object at 0x...>
-
- Some subdivisions specify another subdivision as a parent:
-
- >>> al_br = pycountry.subdivisions.get(code='AL-BU')
- >>> al_br.code
- 'AL-BU'
- >>> al_br.name
- u'Bulqiz\xeb'
- >>> al_br.type
- 'District'
- >>> al_br.parent_code
- 'AL-09'
- >>> al_br.parent
- <pycountry.db.Subdivision object at 0x...>
- >>> al_br.parent.name
- u'Dib\xebr'
-
- The divisions of a single country can be queried using the country_code index:
-
- >>> len(pycountry.subdivisions.get(country_code='DE'))
- 16
-
- >>> len(pycountry.subdivisions.get(country_code='US'))
- 57
-
-
- Scripts (ISO 15924)
- ===================
-
- Scripts are available from a database similar to the countries:
-
- >>> len(pycountry.scripts)
- 146
- >>> list(pycountry.scripts)[0]
- <pycountry.db.Script object at 0x...>
-
- >>> latin = pycountry.scripts.get(name='Latin')
- >>> latin
- <pycountry.db.Script object at 0x...>
- >>> latin.alpha4
- 'Latn'
- >>> latin.name
- 'Latin'
- >>> latin.numeric
- '215'
-
-
- Currencies (ISO 4217)
- =====================
-
- The currencies database is, again, similar to the ones before:
-
- >>> len(pycountry.currencies)
- 182
- >>> list(pycountry.currencies)[0]
- <pycountry.db.Currency object at 0x...>
-
- >>> argentine_peso = pycountry.currencies.get(letter='ARS')
- >>> argentine_peso
- <pycountry.db.Currency object at 0x...>
- >>> argentine_peso.letter
- 'ARS'
- >>> argentine_peso.name
- 'Argentine Peso'
- >>> argentine_peso.numeric
- '032'
-
-
- Languages (ISO 639)
- ===================
-
- The languages database is similar too:
-
- >>> len(pycountry.languages)
- 486
- >>> list(pycountry.languages)[0]
- <pycountry.db.Language object at 0x...>
-
- >>> aragonese = pycountry.languages.get(alpha2='an')
- >>> aragonese.alpha2
- 'an'
- >>> aragonese.bibliographic
- 'arg'
- >>> aragonese.terminology
- 'arg'
- >>> aragonese.name
- 'Aragonese'
-
- Locales
- =======
-
- Locales are available in the `pycountry.LOCALES_DIR` subdirectory of this
- package. The translation domains are called `isoXXX` according to the standard
- they provide translations for. The directory is structured in a way compatible
- to Python's gettext module.
-
- Here is an example translating language names:
-
- >>> import gettext
- >>> german = gettext.translation('iso_3166', pycountry.LOCALES_DIR,
- ... languages=['de'])
- >>> german.install()
- >>> _('Germany')
- 'Deutschland'
-
- Changes
- =======
-
- 0.12.1 (2010-04-21)
- -------------------
-
- - Remedy brown-bag release 0.12 which was missing all data files due to a bad
- interaction between the build system for the data and zest.releaeser's
- full-release script.
-
-
- 0.12 (2010-04-20)
- -----------------
-
- - Follow Debian repository to git.
-
- - Upgrade data to revision 770fa9cd603f90f9fb982b32fe6f45d253f1d33e as
- requested by #5488 and others.
-
- - Reflect subdivision changes with how they reference their parents in the XML
- (they used to use space as a separator but now use a hyphen).
-
- - Refactor index building structures a bit.
-
- - Remove superfluous 'code' index from subdivision database. (Together with
- the data upgrade this also gets rid of all the annoying warnings as
- described in #6667).
-
- - Some light PEP 8 improvements.
-
- 0.11 (2009-03-03)
- -----------------
-
- - Updated Debian repository to r1752.
-
-
- 0.10 (2008-06-26)
- -----------------
-
- - Added support for country subdivisions (ISO 3166-2).
