countrycodefor PythonWarning: This isalphasoftware.countrycodestandardizes country names, converts them into ~40
different coding schemes, and assigns region descriptors.Convert country names to and from 9 country code schemes.Bugs & Development:https://github.com/vincentarelbundock/pycountrycodePypi:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/countrycodeVincent’s webpageThis is a Python port ofthecountrycodepackage for
R.The ProblemDifferent data sources use different coding schemes to represent
countries (e.g. CoW or ISO). This poses two main problems: (1) some of
these coding schemes are less than intuitive, and (2) merging these data
requires converting from one coding scheme to another, or from long
country names to a coding scheme.The SolutionThecountrycodefunction can convert to and from 40+ different country
coding schemes, and to 600+ variants of country names in different
languages and formats. It uses regular expressions to convert long
country names (e.g. Sri Lanka) into any of those coding schemes or
country names. It can create new variables with various regional
groupings.Supported codesSee the section at the very end of this README for a full list of
supported codes and languages. These include:600+ variants of country names in different languages and formats.AR5Continent and region identifiers.Correlates of War (numeric and character)European Central BankEUROCONTROL- The European Organisation
