Pain001, A Python Library for Automating ISO 20022-Compliant Payment Files Using CSV Or SQLite Data Files.

Pain001: Automate ISO 20022-Compliant Payment File Creation

A Powerful Python Library that enables you to create ISO 20022-Compliant Payment Files directly from CSV or SQLite data files

Overview

Pain001 is an open-source Python Library that you can use to create ISO 20022-Compliant Payment Files directly from your CSV or SQLite Data Files.

• Website: https://pain001.com
• Source code: https://github.com/sebastienrousseau/pain001
• Bug reports: https://github.com/sebastienrousseau/pain001/issues

The Python library focuses specifically on Payment Initiation and Advice Messages, commonly known as Pain. In a very simplified way, a pain.001 is a message that initiates the customer payment.

As of today, the library is designed to be compatible with the:

• Payments Initiation V03 (pain.001.001.03): This version is used for initiating credit transfers within the SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area).
• Payments Initiation V04 (pain.001.001.04): Introduced support for non-SEPA payments and additional functionalities.
• Payments Initiation V05 (pain.001.001.05): Brought further enhancements and clarifications.
• Payments Initiation V06 (pain.001.001.06): Focused on introducing support for instant payments.
• Payments Initiation V07 (pain.001.001.07): Added support for Request for Large Payment (RLP) and Request to Modify Payment (RTP) functionalities.
• Payments Initiation V08 (pain.001.001.08): Included support for the TARGET Instant Settlement Service (TISS) and introduced a new pain.002 message type for debit transfers.
• Payments Initiation V09 (pain.001.001.09): The latest version, which introduced support for Request for Account Information (RAI) functionality.

Payments usually start with a pain.001 payment initiation message. The payer sends it to the payee (or the payee’s bank) via a secure network. This network could be SWIFT or SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) network, or other payment networks such as CHAPS, BACS, Faster Payments, etc. The message contains the payer’s and payee’s bank account details, payment amount, and other information required to process the payment.

The Pain001 library can reduce payment processing complexity and costs by generating ISO 20022-compliant payment files. These files automatically remove the need to create and validate them manually, making the payment process more efficient and cost-effective. It will save you time and resources and minimize the risk of errors, ensuring accurate and seamless payment processing.

Use the Pain001 library to simplify, accelerate, and automate your payment processing.

Requirements

Pain001 works with macOS, Linux, and Windows and requires Python 3.9.0 and above.

Installation

We recommend creating a virtual environment to install Pain001. This will ensure that the package is installed in an isolated environment and will not affect other projects. To install Pain001 in a virtual environment, follow these steps:

Install virtualenv

python -m pip install virtualenv

Create a Virtual Environment

python -m venv venv

Code	Explanation
-m	executes module venv
env	name of the virtual environment

Activate environment

source venv/bin/activate

Getting Started

It takes just a few seconds to get up and running with Pain001. You can install Pain001 from PyPI with pip or your favourite package manager:

Open your terminal and run the following command to add the latest version:

python -m pip install pain001

Add the -U switch to update to the current version, if pain001 is already installed.

python -m pip install -U pain001

Quick Start

After installation, you can run Pain001 directly from the command line. Simply call the main module pain001 with the paths of your:

• XML template file containing the various parameters you want to pass from your Data file,
• XSD schema file to validate the generated XML file, and
• Data file (CSV or SQLite) containing the payment instructions that you want to submit.

Here’s how you would do that:

python3 -m pain001 \
    -t <xml_message_type> \
    -m <xml_template_file_path> \
    -s <xsd_schema_file_path> \
    -d <data_file_path>

Arguments

When running Pain001, you will need to specify four arguments:

• An xml_message_type: This is the type of XML message you want to generate.

  The currently supported types are:

  • pain.001.001.03
  • pain.001.001.04
  • pain.001.001.05
  • pain.001.001.06
  • pain.001.001.07
  • pain.001.001.08
  • pain.001.001.09

• An xml_template_file_path: This is the path to the XML template file you are using that contains variables that will be replaced by the values in your

  Data file.

• An xsd_schema_file_path: This is the path to the XSD schema file you are using to validate the generated XML file.

• A data_file_path: This is the path to the CSV or SQLite Data file you want to convert to XML format.

Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to use Pain001 to generate a payment initiation message from a CSV file and a SQLite Data file.

Using a CSV Data File as the source

python3 -m pain001 \
    -t pain.001.001.03 \
    -m /path/to/your/template.xml \
    -s /path/to/your/pain.001.001.03.xsd \
    -d /path/to/your/template.csv

Using a SQLite Data File as the source

python3 -m pain001 \
    -t pain.001.001.03 \
    -m /path/to/your/template.xml \
    -s /path/to/your/pain.001.001.03.xsd \
    -d /path/to/your/template.db

Pain.001.001.07

This will generate a payment initiation message in the format of Pain.001.001.07.

python -m pain001 \
    -t pain.001.001.07 \
    -m pain001/templates/pain.001.001.07/template.xml \
    -s pain001/templates/pain.001.001.07/pain.001.001.07.xsd \
    -d pain001/templates/pain.001.001.07/template.csv

    -d pain001/templates/pain.001.001.09/template.csv

You can do the same with the sample SQLite Data file:

python3 -m pain001 \
    -t pain.001.001.03 \
    -m pain001/templates/pain.001.001.03/template.xml \
    -s pain001/templates/pain.001.001.03/pain.001.001.03.xsd \
    -d pain001/templates/pain.001.001.03/template.db

Note: The XML file that Pain001 generates will automatically be validated against the XSD template file before the new XML file is saved. If the validation fails, Pain001 will stop running and display an error message in your terminal.

Embedded in an Application

To embed Pain001 in a new or existing application, import the main function and use it in your code.

Here's an example:

from pain001 import main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    xml_message_type = 'pain.001.001.03'
    xml_template_file_path = 'template.xml'
    xsd_schema_file_path = 'schema.xsd'
    data_file_path = 'data.csv'
    main(
        xml_message_type,
        xml_template_file_path,
        xsd_schema_file_path,
        data_file_path
    )

Validation

To validate the generated XML file against a given xsd schema, use the following method:

from pain001.core import validate_xml_against_xsd

xml_message_type = 'pain.001.001.03'
xml_file = 'generated.xml'
xsd_file = 'schema.xsd'

is_valid = validate_xml_against_xsd(
    xml_message_type,
    xml_file,
    xsd_file
)
print(f"XML validation result: {is_valid}")
