Description

Comprehensive Python package for managing currency codes across different types of assets. Having all the currency codes in one package can simplify the development process for applications that involve multiple currencies and assets. This package could also help to ensure consistency and accuracy in managing currency codes across different parts of an application
The package provides currency codes for different types of assets. Such as

• fiat (US dollar, UAE Dirham, ...)
• crypto (Bitcoin, Solana, ...)
• commodity (Palladium, Gold, ...)
• others (WIR Franc, CFP Franc, ...)

How to use the package?

Get a currency info by a currency code

You can get any currency info using the snippet below

from currency_codes import get_currency_by_code, Currency

currency_code: str = "EUR"
currency: Currency = get_currency_by_code(currency_code)

if the package doesn't know a currency code you can raise a PR to extend the knowledge base but for now the CurrencyNotFoundError will be raised.

from currency_codes import get_currency_by_code, CurrencyNotFoundError

# non-existent currency code
currency_code: str = "EUR000"
try:
    get_currency_by_code(currency_code)
except CurrencyNotFoundError:
    print("Non-existent code have been used")

Get a currency info by a currency numeric code

To get a currency info you can also use the numeric code like in the example below

from currency_codes import get_currency_by_numeric_code, Currency

# Euro has 978 numeric code
currency_numeric_code: str = "978"
currency: Currency = get_currency_by_numeric_code(currency_numeric_code)

if the package doesn't know a currency numeric code you can raise a PR to extend the knowledge base but for now the CurrencyNotFoundError will be raised.

from currency_codes import get_currency_by_numeric_code, CurrencyNotFoundError

# non-existent currency numeric code
currency_numeric_code: str = "00000000"
try:
    get_currency_by_numeric_code(currency_numeric_code)
except CurrencyNotFoundError:
    print("Non-existent numeric code have been used")
