Project description

inoutlists

inoutlists is a python package to parse and normalize different sources of lists (OFAC, EU, UN, etc) to a common dictionary interface.

Once the lists are parsed and normalized, the user can dump the information to other formats such as JSON, CSV or a Pandas data frame for further research or transfer to other systems.

Moreover, the package can be extended to parse any kind of source creating specific Loaders classes or to dump the information to any kind of formats creating specific Dumpers classes.

Basic Usage

inoutlists main entry points are the functions load and dump:

inoutlists.load(data, loader=Loader, description="")

Parameters:

  • data: The data to parse. The type of the data parameter depends on the Loader chosen. It could be a url, a file, a string, etc.
  • loader: Loader class. The loader class must inherit from the class Loader. It defines the logic of the transformation from the data to the common dictionary interface implementing the methods defined in the class Loader, specially the function load.
  • description: An string. For informative purposes.

Returns: Dictionary. The list in the dictionary common interface.

inoutlists.dump(data, dumper=Dumper, *args, **kwargs)

Parameters:

  • data: An python dictionary based on the common interface.
  • dumper. Dumper class. The dumper class must inherit from the class Dumper. It defines the logic of the transformation from the dictionary common interface to the target format implementing the method dump.
  • *args, **kwargs. Positional arguments and keyword arguments passed to the dumper class.

Returns: Any. It depends on the Dumper class.

Installing inoutlists

$ python -m pip install inoutlists

Current loaders distributed with inoutlists

  • Loader. Generic loader class. All the loader classes must inherit and implement the methods defined in this class.

  • LoaderXML. Generic class for loading lists based on XML. The data parameter of the load function can be the url of the xml file, a OS path to the file or a string.

  • LoaderOFACXML. Class for parsing lists distributed by OFAC based on the SDN schema. It inherits from class LoaderXML.

  • LoaderEUXML. Class for parsing lists distributed by EU on EU sanctions list source. It inherits from class LoaderXML.

  • LoaderUNXML. Class for parsing lists distributed by UN on UN sanctions list source. It inherits from class LoaderXML.

Current dumpers distributed with inoutlists

  • Dumper. Generic dumper class. All the dumper classes must inherit and implement the methods defined in this class.

  • DumperJSON. Dumper class for dumping the parsed list as a dictionary common interface to JSON. The parameter output of the dump method can be a string or path representing a file. If that parameter is not provided then returns a data as a string. It accepts all the keyword arguments of the functions dump and dumps of the JSON package.

  • DumperPandas: Dumper class for dumping the parsed list as a dictionary common interface to a Pandas data frame. Because the dictionary common interface there one to many relations (several names, several addresses, etc) the returned data frame represent the cartesian product of those relations.

  • DumperCSV: Dumper class for dumping the parsed list as a dictionary common interface to csv. The data is dumped following the same rules of the DumperPandas class. The parameter output of the dump method can be a string or path representing a file. If that parameter is not provided then returns a the data as a string. It accepts all the keyword arguments of the function method to_csv of an Pandas data frame.
