HDX Python country code and exchange rate (fx) utilities

Project description

Build Status Coverage Status Ruff Downloads

The HDX Python Country Library provides utilities to map between country and region codes and names and to match administrative level names from different sources. It also provides utilities for foreign exchange enabling obtaining current and historic FX rates for different currencies.

It provides country mappings including ISO 2 and ISO 3 letter codes (ISO 3166) and regions using live official data from the UN OCHA feed with fallbacks to an internal static file if there is any problem with retrieving data from the url. (Also it is possible to force the use of the internal static files.)

It can exact match English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Arabic. There is a fuzzy matching for English look up that can handle abbreviations in country names like Dem. for Democratic and Rep. for Republic.

Mapping administration level names from a source to a given base set is also handled including phonetic fuzzy name matching.

It also provides foreign exchange rates and conversion from amounts in local currency to USD and vice-versa. The conversion relies on Yahoo Finance, falling back on currency-api for current rates, and Yahoo Finance falling back on IMF data via IATI (with interpolation) for historic daily rates.

For more information, please read the documentation.

This library is part of the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) project. If you have humanitarian related data, please upload your datasets to HDX.

Development

Environment

Development is currently done using Python 3.12. We recommend using a virtual environment such as venv:

    python -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate

In your virtual environment, install all packages for development by running:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Pre-commit

Be sure to install pre-commit, which is run every time you make a git commit:

    pip install pre-commit
    pre-commit install

With pre-commit, all code is formatted according to ruff guidelines.

To check if your changes pass pre-commit without committing, run:

    pre-commit run --all-files

Testing

Ensure you have the required packages to run the tests:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the tests and view coverage, execute:

    pytest -c --cov hdx

Packages

uv is used for package management. If you’ve introduced a new package to the source code (i.e. anywhere in src/), please add it to the project.dependencies section of pyproject.toml with any known version constraints.

To add packages required only for testing, add them to the test section under [project.optional-dependencies].

Any changes to the dependencies will be automatically reflected in requirements.txt with pre-commit, but you can re-generate the file without committing by executing:

    pre-commit run pip-compile --all-files

Project

Hatch is used for project management. The project can be built using:

    hatch build

Linting and syntax checking can be run with:

    hatch fmt --check

Tests can be executed using:

    hatch test
