Features

  • ✅ Flexible input: Accepts str or list[str]
  • ✅ Format agnostic: Strips non-numeric characters from string input
  • ✅ Auto-expansion: Multi-character strings in lists are joined and parsed like a single string
  • ✅ Input validation: Rejects ineligible CPFs (9 identical digits in the base — repeated-digit pattern)
  • ✅ Lazy evaluation: Check digits are calculated only when accessed (via properties)
  • ✅ Caching: Calculated values are cached for subsequent access
  • ✅ Type hints: Built with Python 3.10+ type annotations
  • ✅ Minimal dependencies: Only lacus.utils
  • ✅ Error handling: Specific types for type, length, and invalid CPF scenarios (TypeError vs Exception semantics)

Installation

$ pip install cpf-dv

Quick Start

from cpf_dv import CpfCheckDigits

Basic usage:

check_digits = CpfCheckDigits("054496519")

check_digits.first   # '1'
check_digits.second  # '0'
check_digits.both    # '10'
check_digits.cpf     # '05449651910'

Usage

The main resource of this package is the class CpfCheckDigits. Through an instance, you access CPF check-digit information:

  • __init__: CpfCheckDigits(str | list[str]) — 9–11 digits after sanitization (formatting stripped from strings). Only the first 9 digits are used as the base; if you pass 10 or 11 digits (e.g. a full CPF including prior check digits), digits 10–11 are ignored and the check digits are recalculated.
  • first: First check digit (10th digit of the full CPF). Lazy, cached.
  • second: Second check digit (11th digit of the full CPF). Lazy, cached.
  • both: Both check digits concatenated as a string.
  • cpf: The complete CPF as a string of 11 digits (9 base digits + 2 check digits).

Input formats

The CpfCheckDigits class accepts multiple input formats:

String input: plain digits or formatted CPF (e.g. 054.496.519-10, 123.456.789). Non-numeric characters are removed. Leading zeros are preserved.

List of strings: each element must be a string; values are concatenated and then parsed like a single string (e.g. ["0","5","4",…], ["054","496","519"], ["054496519"]). Non-string elements are not allowed.

# String — plain, formatted, or with existing check digits (only first 9 digits used)
CpfCheckDigits("054496519")
CpfCheckDigits("054.496.519-10")
CpfCheckDigits("05449651910")

# List of strings — single- or multi-character elements
CpfCheckDigits(["0", "5", "4", "4", "9", "6", "5", "1", "9"])
CpfCheckDigits(["054", "496", "519"])
CpfCheckDigits(["054496519"])

Errors & exceptions handling

This package uses TypeError vs Exception semantics: type errors indicate incorrect API use (e.g. wrong type); exceptions indicate invalid or ineligible data (e.g. invalid length or business rules). You can catch specific classes or use the base classes.

  • CpfCheckDigitsTypeError — base class for type errors; extends Python's TypeError
  • CpfCheckDigitsInputTypeError — input is not str or list[str] (or list contains a non-string element)
  • CpfCheckDigitsException — base class for data/flow exceptions; extends Exception
  • CpfCheckDigitsInputLengthException — sanitized length is not 9–11
  • CpfCheckDigitsInputInvalidException — first 9 digits are all identical (repeated-digit pattern)
from cpf_dv import (
    CpfCheckDigits,
    CpfCheckDigitsException,
    CpfCheckDigitsInputInvalidException,
    CpfCheckDigitsInputLengthException,
    CpfCheckDigitsInputTypeError,
)

# Input type (e.g. integer not allowed)
try:
    CpfCheckDigits(12345678901)
except CpfCheckDigitsInputTypeError as e:
    print(e)  # CPF input must be of type string or string[]. Got integer number.

# Length (must be 9–11 digits after sanitization)
try:
    CpfCheckDigits("12345678")
except CpfCheckDigitsInputLengthException as e:
    print(e)  # CPF input "12345678" does not contain 9 to 11 digits. Got 8.

# Invalid (e.g. repeated digits)
try:
    CpfCheckDigits(["999", "999", "999"])
except CpfCheckDigitsInputInvalidException as e:
    print(e)  # CPF input ["999","999","999"] is invalid. Repeated digits are not considered valid.

# Any data exception from the package
try:
    CpfCheckDigits(["999", "999", "999"])
except CpfCheckDigitsException as e:
    print(e)

  • CPF_MIN_LENGTH: 9
  • CPF_MAX_LENGTH: 11
  • CpfInput: type alias (str | list[str])
  • Exceptions: see above

Calculation algorithm

The package calculates CPF check digits using the official Brazilian modulo-11 algorithm:

  1. First check digit (10th position): apply to the first 9 base digits; weights 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (left to right); let remainder = 11 - (sum(digit × weight) % 11). The digit is 0 if remainder > 9, otherwise remainder.
  2. Second check digit (11th position): apply to the first 9 base digits plus the first check digit; weights 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (left to right); same formula for remainder.
