kontocheck 5.8.0

Python ctypes wrapper of the konto_check library.

Python ctypes wrapper of the konto_check library.

This module is based on konto_check, a small library to check German bank accounts. It implements all check methods and IBAN generation rules, published by the German Central Bank.

In addition it provides access to the SCL Directory and the possibility to verify VAT-IDs by the German Federal Central Tax Office.

Example

import kontocheck
kontocheck.lut_load()
bankname = kontocheck.get_name('37040044')
iban = kontocheck.create_iban('37040044', '532013000')
kontocheck.check_iban(iban)
bic = kontocheck.get_bic(iban)
bankname = kontocheck.scl_get_bankname('VBOEATWW')
