Development

To contribute to this library, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

cd django-countries-hdx
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Now install the test dependencies:

pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:

pytest

Data updates

The data is a static file supplied with the lib. You can use the data/merge.py script to update this data.

Download the latest UN data to data/unsd_methodology.csv and run the script from the data dir. It will read the default hdx data and augment it with the UN data.

The merged result is then saved into the lib where it can be read back into the hdx lib.
