ISO639-2 support for Python.
Project description
iso639
======
A simple (really simple) library for working with ISO639-2 language codes.
Tested for Python 2.7 & 3.4.
Includes data from Congress library: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php (+ updates)
Installation
------------
The easiest way is using `pip`:
pip install iso639
Alternatives
------------
* **pycountry**: https://bitbucket.org/flyingcircus/pycountry - a more-featured package
* **iso639**: https://github.com/noumar/iso639 - another package with the same name
Example usage
-------------
```python
import iso639
>>> iso639.to_name('sv')
u'Swedish'
>>> iso639.to_native('sv')
u'svenska'
```
For more examples, see doctests in the source code.
