[Question]: Which ALPHA code should I use for the country India?

Question

Hi there,

As I'm creating a new publisher for The Hindu from India and working on a Parser stub, I've encountered an issue with the alpha-2 code for India, which is IN. This code conflicts with the in keyword in Python, leading to a syntax error. Therefore, I propose using the alternate alpha-3 code IND to avoid this conflict. If we go with this naming convention, any other publishers for India will fall under fundus/publishers/ind.

Also, I've looked into the country codes with is keyword and found that the alpha-2 code for Iceland is IS, while the alpha-3 code is ISL. Therefore, any future publisher for Iceland would be located under ../../isl.

@Senthi1Kumar That's a really good point and idea 👍 For now, I think the best would be to proceed as you suggested, using the alpha-3 code for India.

I will think about replacing the current alpha-2 code with alpha-2 ones, but this may take a while.

Thank you @MaxDall for the approval, I'll go with ind code and finish that first publisher :).
