Extract GCP

[stereobooster]

Hi. Thanks for the project.

apparently it is possible to extract GCP from GTIN (even if it is variable length). Here is another library which does it https://github.com/enorganic/gtin/blob/master/scripts/update_gcp_prefix_format_list.py

Any chance to add this feature to your library?

Thanks! If you're using Biip, I'd appreciate if you added your company or yourself to the lists of users!

Biip currently only supports getting the GS1 member organization prefix, indicating what country the GTIN was issued in: https://biip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/gtin/#biip.gtin.Gtin.prefix

I was not aware of the company prefix length data set's existence, but this looks like a very interesting addition to Biip. I'll probably have a go at adding it to an upcoming Biip 3.0 release soon.

For now I just do some experiments with it, as soon as I start using it I will update the list

Maybe this would be interesting for you. Just found that there is official (GS1) C library https://github.com/gs1/gs1-syntax-engine

Biip 3.0.0 has now been released. It includes the changes discussed here, hopefully making Biip useful in your use case.
