A module to make it easier to handle historical exchange rates.
Since version 0.3.5, rates are downloaded from a separate scraper hosted by Code for IATI. You can find the code for that scraper on Github: https://github.com/codeforiati/imf-exchangerates
The data from that scraper is made available here: https://codeforiati.org/imf-exchangerates/imf_exchangerates.csv
Instructions
Install from PyPI:
pip install exchangerates
Create a CurrencyConverter object:
import exchangerates
converter = exchangerates.CurrencyConverter(update=True)
Note: update=True will lead to fresh exchange rates being downloaded.
Usage
Get a list of the available currencies:
print converter.known_currencies()
Get the conversion rate for a specific currency and date:
print converter.closest_rate("USD", datetime.date(2012,7,20))
print converter.closest_rate("EUR", datetime.date(2014,7,20))
print converter.closest_rate("EUR", datetime.date(2014,7,20))
You can also just generate a consolidated file of exchange rates:
python get_rates.py
Result will be at data/consolidated_rates.csv.
