Translation files for the various strings are included as well. Data update policy ------------------ No changes to the data will be accepted into pycountry. This is a pure wrapper around the ISO standard using the `pkg-isocodes` database from Debian *as is*. If you need changes to the political situation in the world, please talk to the ISO or Debian people, not me. Donations / Monetary Support ---------------------------- This is a small project that I maintain in my personal time. I am not interested in personal financial gain. However, if you would like to support the project then I would love if you would donate to `Feminist Frequency `_ instead. Also, let the world know you did so, so that others can follow your path. Contributions ------------- The code lives in a `git repository on GitHub `_, and issues must be reported in there as well. Countries (ISO 3166-1) ---------------------- Countries are accessible through a database object that is already configured upon import of pycountry and works as an iterable: .. code:: pycon >>> import pycountry >>> len(pycountry.countries) 249 >>> list(pycountry.countries)[0] Country(alpha_2='AF', alpha_3='AFG', name='Afghanistan', numeric='004', official_name='Islamic Republic of Afghanistan') Specific countries can be looked up by their various codes and provide the information included in the standard as attributes: .. code:: pycon >>> germany = pycountry.countries.get(alpha_2='DE') >>> germany Country(alpha_2='DE', alpha_3='DEU', name='Germany', numeric='276', official_name='Federal Republic of Germany') >>> germany.alpha_2 'DE' >>> germany.alpha_3 'DEU' >>> germany.numeric '276' >>> germany.name 'Germany' >>> germany.official_name 'Federal Republic of Germany' There's also a "fuzzy" search to help people discover "proper" countries for names that might only actually be subdivisions. The fuzziness also includes normalizing unicode accents. There's also a bit of prioritization included to prefer matches on country names before subdivision names and have countries with more matches be listed before ones with fewer matches: .. code:: pycon >>> pycountry.countries.search_fuzzy('England') [Country(alpha_2='GB', alpha_3='GBR', name='United Kingdom', numeric='826', official_name='United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland')] >>> pycountry.countries.search_fuzzy('Cote') [Country(alpha_2='CI', alpha_3='CIV', name="Côte d'Ivoire", numeric='384', official_name="Republic of Côte d'Ivoire"), Country(alpha_2='FR', alpha_3='FRA', name='France', numeric='250', official_name='French Republic'), Country(alpha_2='HN', alpha_3='HND', name='Honduras', numeric='340', official_name='Republic of Honduras')] Attributes for the country class can be accessed using the `__getattr__` method. If the requested attribute is a key for the country class, it will return the corresponding value. In the special cases of missing 'common_name' or 'official_name' attributes, `__getattr__` will return 'name'. Here are some examples: .. code:: pycon >>> aland = pycountry.countries.get(alpha_2='AX') >>> print(aland) Country(alpha_2='AX', alpha_3='ALA', flag='🇦🇽', name='Åland Islands', numeric='248') >>> aland.common_name UserWarning: Country's common_name not found. Country name provided instead. warnings.warn(warning_message, UserWarning) 'Åland Islands' >>> aland.official_name Country's official_name not found. Country name provided instead. warnings.warn(warning_message, UserWarning) 'Åland Islands' >>> aland.flag '🇦🇽' >>> aland.foo # Raises AttributeError Historic Countries (ISO 3166-3) ------------------------------- The `historic_countries` database contains former countries that have been removed from the standard and are now included in ISO 3166-3, excluding existing ones: .. code:: pycon >>> ussr = pycountry.historic_countries.get(alpha_3='SUN') >>> ussr Country(alpha_3='SUN', alpha_4='SUHH', withdrawal_date='1992-08-30', name='USSR, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics', numeric='810') >>> ussr.alpha_4 'SUHH' >>> ussr.alpha_3 'SUN' >>> ussr.name 'USSR, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics' >>> ussr.withdrawal_date '1992-08-30' 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: .. code:: pycon >>> len(pycountry.subdivisions) 4847 >>> list(pycountry.subdivisions)[0] Subdivision(code='AD-07', country_code='AD', name='Andorra la Vella', parent_code=None, type='Parish') Subdivisions can be accessed using their unique code. The resulting object will provide at least their code, name and type: .. code:: pycon >>> 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 Country(alpha_2='DE', alpha_3='DEU', name='Germany', numeric='276', official_name='Federal Republic of Germany') Some subdivisions specify another subdivision as a parent: .. code:: pycon >>> al_br = pycountry.subdivisions.get(code='AL-BU') >>> al_br.code 'AL-BU' >>> al_br.name 'Bulqiz\xeb' >>> al_br.type 'District' >>> al_br.parent_code 'AL-09' >>> al_br.parent Subdivision(code='AL-09', country_code='AL', name='Dib\xebr', parent_code=None, type='County') >>> al_br.parent.name 'Dib\xebr' The divisions of a single country can be queried using the country_code index: .. code:: pycon >>> len(pycountry.subdivisions.get(country_code='DE')) 16 >>> len(pycountry.subdivisions.get(country_code='US')) 57 Similar to countries, the `search_fuzzy` method has been implemented for subdivisions to facilitate finding relevant subdivision entries. This method includes unicode normalization for accents and prioritizes matches on subdivision names. The search algorithm is designed to return more relevant matches first: This method is especially useful for cases where the exact name or code of the subdivision is not known. .. code:: pycon >>> pycountry.subdivisions.search_fuzzy('York') [Subdivision(code='GB-YOR', country_code='GB', name='York', parent='GB-ENG', parent_code='GB-GB-ENG', type='Unitary authority') Subdivision(code='GB-ERY', country_code='GB', name='East Riding of Yorkshire', parent='GB-ENG', parent_code='GB-GB-ENG', type='Unitary authority') Subdivision(code='GB-NYK', country_code='GB', name='North Yorkshire', parent='GB-ENG', parent_code='GB-GB-ENG', type='Two-tier county') Subdivision(code='US-NY', country_code='US', name='New York', parent_code=None, type='State')] Scripts (ISO 15924) ------------------- Scripts are available from a database similar to the countries: .. code:: pycon >>> len(pycountry.scripts) 169 >>> list(pycountry.scripts)[0] Script(alpha_4='Afak', name='Afaka', numeric='439') >>> latin = pycountry.scripts.get(name='Latin') >>> latin Script(alpha_4='Latn', name='Latin', numeric='215') >>> latin.alpha4 'Latn' >>> latin.name 'Latin' >>> latin.numeric '215' Currencies (ISO 4217) --------------------- The currencies database is, again, similar to the ones before: .. code:: pycon >>> len(pycountry.currencies) 182 >>> list(pycountry.currencies)[0] Currency(alpha_3='AED', name='UAE Dirham', numeric='784') >>> argentine_peso = pycountry.currencies.get(alpha_3='ARS') >>> argentine_peso Currency(alpha_3='ARS', name='Argentine Peso', numeric='032') >>> argentine_peso.alpha_3 'ARS' >>> argentine_peso.name 'Argentine Peso' >>> argentine_peso.numeric '032' Languages (ISO 639-3) --------------------- The languages database is similar too: .. code:: pycon >>> len(pycountry.languages) 7874 >>> list(pycountry.languages)[0] Language(alpha_3='aaa', name='Ghotuo', scope='I', type='L') >>> aragonese = pycountry.languages.get(alpha_2='an') >>> aragonese.alpha_2 'an' >>> aragonese.alpha_3 'arg' >>> aragonese.name 'Aragonese' >>> bengali = pycountry.languages.get(alpha_2='bn') >>> bengali.name 'Bengali' >>> bengali.common_name 'Bangla' 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: .. code:: pycon >>> import gettext >>> german = gettext.translation('iso3166-1', pycountry.LOCALES_DIR, ... languages=['de']) >>> german.install() >>> _('Germany') 'Deutschland' Lookups ------- For each database (countries, languages, scripts, etc.), you can also look up entities case insensitively without knowing which key the value may match. For example: .. code:: pycon >>> pycountry.countries.lookup('de') The search ends with the first match, which is returned. Dict Compatibility ------------------ You can cast each object type into a `dict`: .. code:: pycon >>> country = pycountry.countries.lookup('de') >>> dict(country) {'alpha_2': 'DE', 'name': 'Germany', ...} Custom Countries ---------------- While pycountry will not be adding non-ISO values to its standard library, you can add or remove entries at runtime to fit your needs. Add a non-ISO country: .. code:: pycon >>> pycountry.countries.add_entry(alpha_2="XK", alpha_3="XXK", name="Kosovo", numeric="926") Remove a country from a database: .. code:: pycon >>> pycountry.countries.remove_entry(alpha_2="XK") PyInstaller Compatibility ------------------------- Some users have reported issues using PyCountry with PyInstaller guidance on how to handle the issues can be found in the `PyInstaller Google Group `_.
