    language="en",
    year=2004
)

Tested with Python 3.9.13 and cointainer_scraper_ecb v0.1.2 ✔️

Two data classes are relevant which are beeing returned by the function:

def get_two_euro_commemorative_coins(
    lang: str = "en",
    year: int = START_YEAR
) -> List[TwoEuro]: ...

@dataclass
class Coinage:
    """Represents a coin of a country to be collected."""

    country: Optional[str]
    image_default_url: Optional[str]
    volume: Optional[int]
    image_default_url_info: Optional[str] = None
    country_info: Optional[str] = None
    circulation_date: Optional[datetime.date] = None
    image_attribution: Optional[str] = None
    circulation_date_info: Optional[str] = None
    volume_info: Optional[str] = None


@dataclass
class TwoEuro:
    """A two euro coin to collect."""

    feature: str = ""
    description: str = ""
    coinages: List[Coinage] = field(default_factory=list)

Roadmap

• Implement national side scraping (2€, 1€, 50 cent, 20 cent, 10 cent, 5 cent, 2 cent and 1 cent)
• CLI implementation with click

Development

Creating a new release

1. Run the following command poetry version <version>
   cointainer-scraper-ecb uses the following schema: ^\d+\.\d+\.\d+((b|a)\d+)?$

2. Bump the version within the files:

   • cointainer_scraper_ecb/__init__.py
   • tests/test_cointainer_scraper_ecb.py
   • pyproject.toml

   Make sure it's the same version used when bumping with poetry

3. Open CHANGELOG.md and write the new changelog:

   • Use the following # header: v<version> - (yyyy-mm-dd)
     Used ## headers:
   • 💌 Added
   • 🔨 Fixed
   • ♻️ Changed

4. Stage the modified files and push them with the following commit message:

   chore: bump to version v<version>

5. Create annotated release tag

   1. New tag

   git tag -s -m "release v<version>" v<version>
   

   2. Push created tag

   git push --tags
   

6. Run the following command poetry build to create a tarball and a wheel based on the new version

7. Create a new github release and:

   1. Copy and paste the changelog content without the # header into the description of the release textbox
   2. Use the # header style to fill in the Release title (copy it from the CHANGELOG.md)
   3. Copy the version with the v-prefix into the Tag version

8. Attach the produced tarball and wheel (dist/) to the release

9. Check This is a pre-release if it's either an alpha or beta release (a|b) - optional

10. Publish release

Testing

Use the following command to execute the tests:

poetry run pytest

To run the tests, the: download-test-files.(ps1|sh) script must be executed.

This is not the best method because the test data can change. However, I don't know if it is allowed to upload the data to the repository because of the copyright.
