Production-grade currency conversion with smart error handling, encrypted caching, and fuzzy locale matching

pypenny: Robust Currency Conversion Solution

Production-grade currency conversion library with smart error handling, encrypted caching, and fuzzy locale matching.

✨ Features

• 🎯 Unified API: Simple, intuitive top-level functions for all operations
• 💰 Smart Money Class: Immutable, hashable, and supports arithmetic operations
• 🧠 Smart Error Handling: Fuzzy locale matching auto-corrects typos (em_US → en_US)
• ⚙️ Flexible Configuration: Control cache behavior and restrict allowed currencies
• 🔒 Encrypted Cache: Fernet (AES-128) encryption with cross-platform storage
• 📊 Deduplication Logic: Only 1 record per day if exchange rate unchanged
• 🌍 180+ Currencies: Supports all ISO 4217 currencies via py-moneyed
• 🔄 Dual Exchange Strategies: Live network-based + encrypted local cache fallback
• 📦 Zero Config: Works out of the box with sensible defaults

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Using uv (recommended)
uv pip install pypenny

# Using pip
pip install pypenny

Basic Usage

import pypenny as pp

# Configure (optional, uses defaults if skipped)
pp.config(application_name="MyApp")

# Create money
money_usd = pp.Money('100', 'USD')

# Convert
money_egp = pp.convert(money_usd, 'EGP')

# Format (safe to print!)
print(pp.format(money_egp, locale='ar_EG'))
# Output: ‏4,752.00 ج.م.‏

Strict Configuration (Production)

import pypenny as pp

pp.config(
    application_name="ProductionApp",
    allow_cache_fallback=False,  # Fail fast on network errors
    allowed_currencies=['USD', 'EGP'],  # Whitelist only
    cache_max_records=10,
    cache_retention_days=7
)

# This works
money_usd = pp.Money('100', 'USD')

# This raises CurrencyNotAllowedError with helpful message
try:
    money_eur = pp.Money('100', 'EUR')
except pp.CurrencyNotAllowedError as e:
    print(e)
    # Error: Currency 'EUR' not allowed. Allowed: USD, EGP.
    #        Update config.allowed_currencies to include 'EUR'.

📚 Key Features

1. Arithmetic Operations

The Money class supports intuitive arithmetic operations:

m1 = pp.Money('100', 'USD')
m2 = pp.Money('50', 'USD')

# Arithmetic
total = m1 + m2           # 150.00 USD
diff = m1 - m2            # 50.00 USD
doubled = m1 * 2          # 200.00 USD
halved = m1 / 2           # 50.00 USD

# Comparison
is_greater = m1 > m2      # True

2. Fuzzy Locale Matching

Automatically corrects common locale mistakes:

pp.format(money, locale='EN_us')   # → Normalized to 'en_US'
pp.format(money, locale='US_EN')   # → Swapped to 'en_US'
pp.format(money, locale='em_US')   # → Typo corrected to 'en_US'
pp.format(money, locale='US')      # → Alias resolved to 'en_US'

3. Encrypted Cache with Deduplication

# Cache automatically stores exchange rates
money_converted = pp.convert(money_usd, 'EGP')

# Get cache statistics
stats = pp.get_cache_stats()
print(stats['total_records'])  # Number of cached rates
print(stats['cache_file'])     # Path to encrypted cache file

# Cleanup old records
pp.cleanup_cache()

4. Exchange Strategies

# LIVE: Always fetch from network
converted = pp.convert(money, 'EGP', strategy='live')

# CACHED: Use local cache only
converted = pp.convert(money, 'EGP', strategy='cached')

# AUTO: Try live, fallback to cache (default)
converted = pp.convert(money, 'EGP', strategy='auto')

🔧 Configuration Options

pp.config(
    # Required
    application_name: str,              # For cache directory naming
    
    # Cache behavior
    allow_cache_fallback: bool = True,  # Fallback to cache on network failure
    cache_max_records: int = 7,         # Max records per currency pair
    cache_retention_days: int = 3,      # Days to retain cached records
    cache_file_path: str = None,        # Custom cache path (None = platformdirs)
    
    # Currency restrictions
    allowed_currencies: List[str] = None,  # Whitelist (None = all allowed)
    
    # Exchange settings
    default_exchange_strategy: str = 'auto',  # 'live', 'cached', 'auto'
    default_locale: str = 'en_US',
    
    # API settings
    api_key: str = None,
    api_timeout: int = 5,
    api_max_retries: int = 3,
)
