Architecture
------------

Using country data derived from wikipedia, this package provides conversion
functions between ISO country names, country-codes, and continent names.


Functions
---------

- ``map_countries(cn_name_format="default", cn_extras={})``: Return a dict of countries with key as country name (standard and official) with ISO 3166-1 values Alpha 2, Alpha 3, and Numeric. This mapping will include countries defined within `pycountry`, Wikipedia, and whatever extra countries provided by parameter `cn_extras`. Parameter `cn_name_format` will format the country name as request to either be using the default layout `"default"`, lowercase `"lower"`, or uppercase `"upper"`.

- ``country_alpha2_to_continent_code()``: Convert `country code ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2>`_ to continent name.

- ``country_alpha2_to_country_name(cn_name_format="default")``: Convert `country code ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2>`_ to country name.

- ``country_name_to_country_alpha2(cn_name, cn_name_format="default")``: Convert country name to `country code ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2>`_ .

- ``country_alpha3_to_country_name(cn_name_format="default")``: Convert `country code ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3>`_ to country name.

- ``country_name_to_country_alpha3(cn_name, cn_name_format="default")``: Convert country name to `country code ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3>`_ .

- ``country_alpha3_to_country_alpha2()``: Convert `country code ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3>`_ to `country code ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2>`_ .


Parameter: cn_name_format
