pycountrycode

Convert country names to and from 9 country code schemes.

A Python port of the countrycode package for R:

• countrycode @ Github
• countrycode @ CRAN
• Vincent's webpage

This is alpha software; the script probably won't behave well in all cases.

Dependencies

• pandas >= 0.9.0rc2

Installation

git clone https://github.com/vincentarelbundock/pycountrycode
cd pycountrycode
sudo python setup.py install

Usage

from pycountrycode import countrycode
countrycode(origin='country_name', target='iso3c', codes=['Algeria', 'United States'])
> ['DZA', 'USA']
