dz-format

Validate and parse Algerian formats: phone numbers, CCP accounts, RIP and RIB keys, vehicle plates, postal codes, NIN, NIF, NIS, RC numbers, wilayas and communes. The Python twin of the npm package @syscli/dz-format: same rules, same answers, checked in CI against the npm package on thousands of inputs.

pip install dz-format
pip install "dz-format[place]"   # for wilaya and commune names

from dz_format import phone, rip, rip_of, ccp, rib, plate, postal_code, rc

phone("0661 23 45 67")
# {"valid": True, "value": "+213661234567", "national": "0661234567",
#  "type": "mobile", "operator": "Mobilis"}

rip_of("200")                       # "00799999000000020091"
rib("002 00112 1123000001 47")      # {"valid": False, "reason": "key"}
plate("12345 116 16")["year"]       # 2016
rc("01B 0015609-16/00")["canonical"]  # "16/00-0015609 B 01"

from dz_format.place import commune
commune("El Marsa")                 # ambiguous, with 3 suggestions
commune("El Marsa", wilaya="Alger") # valid, code "1640"

Every function takes values the way people type them (spaces, dashes, +213, Arabic-Indic digits) and returns a dict: the parts of a valid value, or the reason it was rejected (empty, chars, length, prefix, key, range, unknown, ambiguous, format).

Valid means well formed, not that the account, line or company exists. The source of every rule is listed in https://github.com/syscli/dz-format/blob/main/sources/README.md. The RIB key leaves out the bank code: it is not the French RIB key.
