I am using django_countries
to show the countries list. Now, I have a requirement where I need to show currency according to country.
Norway - NOK, Europe & Afrika (besides UK) - EUR, UK - GBP, AMERICAS & ASIA - USDs.
Could this be achieved through django_countries project? or are there any other packages in python or django which I could use for this?
Any other solution is welcomed as well.
--------------------------- UPDATE -------------
The main emphasis is on this after getting lot of solutions:
Norway - NOK, Europe & Afrika (besides UK) - EUR, UK - GBP, AMERICAS & ASIA - USDs.
---------------------------- SOLUTION --------------------------------
My solution was quite simple, when I realized that I couldnt get any ISO format or a package to get what I want, I thought to write my own script. It is just a conditional based logic:
from incf.countryutils import transformations
def getCurrencyCode(self, countryCode):
continent = transformations.cca_to_ctn(countryCode)
# print continent
if str(countryCode) == 'NO':
return 'NOK'
if str(countryCode) == 'GB':
return 'GBP'
if (continent == 'Europe') or (continent == 'Africa'):
return 'EUR'
return 'USD'
Dont know whether this is efficient way or not, would like to hear some suggestions.
Thanks everyone!
Get the countries from PythonUse the django_countries. countries object instance as an iterator of ISO 3166-1 country codes and names (sorted by name).
There are several modules out there:
pycountry:
import pycountry
country = pycountry.countries.get(name='Norway')
currency = pycountry.currencies.get(numeric=country.numeric)
print currency.alpha_3
print currency.name
prints:
NOK
Norwegian Krone
py-moneyed
import moneyed
country_name = 'France'
for currency, data in moneyed.CURRENCIES.iteritems():
if country_name.upper() in data.countries:
print currency
break
prints EUR
python-money
import money
country_name = 'France'
for currency, data in money.CURRENCY.iteritems():
if country_name.upper() in data.countries:
print currency
break
prints EUR
pycountry
is regularly updated, py-moneyed
looks great and has more features than python-money
, plus python-money
is not maintained now.
Hope that helps.
django-countries
just hands you a field to couple to your model (and a static bundle with flag icons). The field can hold a 2 character ISO from the list in countries.py
which is convenient if this list is up-to-date (haven't checked) because it saves a lot of typing.
If you wish to create a model with verbose data that's easily achieved, e.g.
class Country(models.Model):
iso = CountryField()
currency = # m2m, fk, char or int field with pre-defined
# choices or whatever suits you
>> obj = Country.objects.create(iso='NZ', currency='NZD')
>> obj.iso.code
u'NZ'
>> obj.get_iso_display()
u'New Zealand'
>> obj.currency
u'NZD'
An example script of preloading data, which could later be exported to create a fixture which is a nicer way of managing sample data.
from django_countries.countries import COUNTRIES
for key in dict(COUNTRIES).keys():
Country.objects.create(iso=key)
I have just released country-currencies, a module that gives you a mapping of country codes to currencies.
>>> from country_currencies import get_by_country
>>> get_by_country('US')
('USD',)
>>> get_by_country('ZW')
('USD', 'ZAR', 'BWP', 'GBP', 'EUR')
