postal-address 0.2.0

Parse, normalize and render postal addresses.

Postal Address

Python module to parse, normalize and render postal addresses.

Motivation

« What ties us to territory is tax. » – Kevin Deldycke, 2014-11-07

The reason above is why we need fine-grained and meticulous territory management and normalization. This project aims to solve this problem once for all.

Don’t get me wrong, this work is a huge undertaking. Postal address parsing, normalization and rendering is hard. Much harder than you think. Please read: http://www.mjt.me.uk/posts/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-addresses/

This library is still in its early stages, but is good enough to implement the new European Directives on VAT, which requires all e-commerce shops to guess the locality of their EU customers depending on their billing address.
