Music Metadata - Territories

A simple library for dealing with territory hierarchies used in music metadata, currently primarily focused on CISAC TIS.

Conversion between TIS and DDEX territories will follow in the next release.

Code

It has only two classes:

• Territory - the territory, e.g. World, Europe, Croatia
• TerritoryList - this class makes including and excluding territories simpler, it also splits territories down when needed

World excluding USA results in a minimal list of included territories:

from music_metadata.territories.territory import Territory
from music_metadata.territories.territory_list import TerritoryList

world = Territory.get('2136')
usa = Territory.get('US')

l = TerritoryList()
l.include(world)
l.exclude(usa)

for t in sorted(l, key=lambda x: x.name):
    print(f'{t.tis_n:0>4}', t.name)

Result:

2100 AFRICA
2106 ASIA
0124 CANADA
2113 CENTRAL AMERICA
2120 EUROPE
0484 MEXICO
2130 OCEANIA
2132 SOUTH AMERICA
2134 WEST INDIES

It is simple to list all the countries as well:

for t in sorted(l.countries, key=lambda x: x.name):
    print(f'{t.tis_a:0>4}', t.name)

Result:

AF AFGHANISTAN
AL ALBANIA
DZ ALGERIA
AD ANDORRA
AO ANGOLA
AG ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA
AR ARGENTINA
AM ARMENIA
AU AUSTRALIA
AT AUSTRIA
...

One can check if a country is finally included in the list:

usa in l
