Description: country converter
        =================
        
        The country converter (coco) is a Python package to convert and match country names between different classifications and between different naming versions. Internally it uses regular expressions to match country names. Coco can also be used to build aggregation concordance matrices between different classification schemes.

        Motivation
        -----------
        
        To date, there is no single standard of how to name or specify individual countries in a (meta) data description.
        While some data sources follow ISO 3166, this standard defines a two and a three letter code in addition to a numerical classification.
        To further complicate the matter, instead of using one of the existing standards, many databases use unstandardised country names to classify countries.
        
        The country converter (coco) automates the conversion from different standards and version of country names.
        Internally, coco is based on a table specifying the different ISO and UN standards per country together with the official name and a regular expression which aim to match all English versions of a specific country name.
        In addition, coco includes classification based on UN-, EU-, OECD-membership, UN regions specifications, continents and various MRIO databases (see `Classification schemes`_ below).
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Country_converter is registered at PyPI. From the command line:
        
        ::
        
            pip install country_converter --upgrade
        
        To install from the Anaconda_ Cloud use:    
        
        ::
            
           conda install -c konstantinstadler country_converter
        
        .. _Anaconda: https://anaconda.org/konstantinstadler/country_converter
        
        Alternatively, the source code is available on GitHub_.
        
        .. _GitHub: https://github.com/konstantinstadler/country_converter
        
        The package depends on Pandas_; for testing py.test_ is required.
        For further information on running the tests see `CONTRIBUTING.rst`_.

        Usage
        -----
        
        Basic usage
        ^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Use within Python
        """""""""""""""""
        
        Convert various country names to some standard names:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import country_converter as coco
            some_names = ['United Rep. of Tanzania', 'DE', 'Cape Verde', '788', 'Burma', 'COG',
                          'Iran (Islamic Republic of)', 'Korea, Republic of',
                          "Dem. People's Rep. of Korea"]
            standard_names = coco.convert(names=some_names, to='name_short')
            print(standard_names)
        
        Which results in ['Tanzania', 'Germany', 'Cabo Verde', 'Tunisia', 'Myanmar', 'Congo Republic', 'Iran', 'South Korea', 'North Korea'].
        The input format is determined automatically, based on ISO two letter, ISO three letter, ISO numeric or regular expression matching.
        In case of any ambiguity, the source format can be specified with the parameter 'src'.
        
        In case of multiple conversion, better performance can be achieved by
        instantiating a single CountryConverter object for all conversions:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import country_converter as coco
            cc = coco.CountryConverter()
        
            some_names = ['United Rep. of Tanzania', 'Cape Verde', 'Burma',
                          'Iran (Islamic Republic of)', 'Korea, Republic of',
                          "Dem. People's Rep. of Korea"]
        
            standard_names = cc.convert(names = some_names, to = 'name_short')
            UNmembership = cc.convert(names = some_names, to = 'UNmember')
            print(standard_names)
            print(UNmembership)
        
        
        Convert between classification schemes:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            iso3_codes = ['USA', 'VUT', 'TKL', 'AUT', 'XXX' ]
            iso2_codes = coco.convert(names=iso3_codes, to='ISO2')
            print(iso2_codes)
        
        Which results in ['US', 'VU', 'TK', 'AT', 'not found']
        
        The not found indication can be specified (e.g. not_found = 'not there'),
        if None is passed for 'not_found', the original entry gets passed through:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            iso2_codes = coco.convert(names=iso3_codes, to='ISO2', not_found=None)
            print(iso2_codes)
        
        results in ['US', 'VU', 'TK', 'AT', 'XXX']
        
        
        Internally the data is stored in a Pandas DataFrame, which can be accessed directly.
        For example, this can be used to filter countries for membership organisations (per year).
        Note: for this, an instance of CountryConverter is required.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import country_converter as coco
            cc = coco.CountryConverter()
        
            some_countries = ['Australia', 'Belgium', 'Brazil', 'Bulgaria', 'Cyprus', 'Czech Republic',
                              'Denmark', 'Estonia', 'Finland', 'France', 'Germany', 'Greece', 'Hungary',
                              'India', 'Indonesia', 'Ireland', 'Italy', 'Japan', 'Latvia', 'Lithuania',
                              'Luxembourg', 'Malta', 'Romania', 'Russia', 'Turkey', 'United Kingdom',
                              'United States']
        
            oecd_since_1995 = cc.data[(cc.data.OECD >= 1995) & cc.data.name_short.isin(some_countries)].name_short
            eu_until_1980 = cc.data[(cc.data.EU <= 1980) & cc.data.name_short.isin(some_countries)].name_short
            print(oecd_since_1995)
            print(eu_until_1980)
        
        Some properties provide direct access to affiliations:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            cc.EU28
            cc.OECD
        
            cc.EU27as('ISO3')
        
        and the classification schemes available:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            cc.valid_class
        
        
        The regular expressions can also be used to match any list of countries to any other. For example:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            match_these = ['norway', 'united_states', 'china', 'taiwan']
            master_list = ['USA', 'The Swedish Kingdom', 'Norway is a Kingdom too',
                           'Peoples Republic of China', 'Republic of China' ]
        
            matching_dict = coco.match(match_these, master_list)
        
        
        See the IPython Notebook (country_converter_examples.ipynb_) for more information.

        Command line usage
        """"""""""""""""""""""
        
        The country converter package also provides a command line interface
        called coco.
        
        Minimal example:
        
        ::
        
            coco Cyprus DE Denmark Estonia 4 'United Kingdom' AUT
        
        Converts the given names to ISO3 codes based on matching the input to ISO2, ISO3, ISOnumeric or regular expression matching.
        The list of names must be separated by spaces, country names consisting of multiple words must be put in quotes ('').
        
        The input classification can be specified with '--src' or '-s' (or will be determined automatically), the target classification with '--to' or '-t'.
        
        The default output is a space separated list, this can be changed by passing a separator by '--output_sep' or '-o' (e.g -o '|').
        
        Thus, to convert from ISO3 to UN number codes and receive the output as comma separated list use:
        
        ::
        
            coco AUT DEU VAT AUS -s ISO3 -t UNcode -o ', '
        
        The command line tool also allows to specify the output for none found entries, including passing them through to the output by passing None:
        
        ::
        
            coco CAN Peru US Mexico Venezuela UK Arendelle --not_found=None
        
        and to specifiy an additional data file which will overwrite existing country matchings
        
        ::
        
            coco Congo --additional_data path/to/datafile.csv
        
        See https://github.com/konstantinstadler/country_converter/tree/master/tests/custom_data_example.txt for an example of an additional datafile.
        
        The flags --UNmember_only (-u) and --include_obsolete (-i) restrict the search 
        to UN memberstates only or extend it to also include currently obsolete 
        countries. For example, the `Netherlands Antilles`_ were dissolved in 2010.
        
        .. _Netherlands Antilles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_Antilles
        
        
        Thus: 
        
        :: 
        
           coco "Netherlands Antilles"
        
        results in "not found". The search, however, can be extended to recently 
        dissolved countries by:
        
        
        :: 
        
           coco "Netherlands Antilles" -i
        
        which results in 'ANT'.
        
        In addition to the countries, the coco command line tool also accepts 
        various country classifications (EXIO1, EXIO2, EXIO3, WIOD, Eora, MESSAGE, 
        OECD, EU27, EU28, UN, obsolete, Cecilia2050, BRIC, APEC, BASIC, CIS, G7, G20).
        One of these can be passed by
        
        ::
           
           coco G20
        
        which lists all countries in that classification.
        
        For the classifications covering almost all countries (MRIO and IAM 
        classifications)
        
        ::
        
           coco EXIO3
        
        lists the unique classification names. When passing a --to parameter, a 
        simplified correspondence of the chosen classification is printed:
        
        ::
        
           coco EXIO3 --to ISO3
        
        For further information call the help by
        
        ::
        
            coco -h
        
        
        Use in Matlab
        """""""""""""
        
        Newer (tested in 2016a) versions of Matlab allow to directly call Python
        functions and libaries.  This requires a Python version >= 3.4 installed in the
        sytem path (e.g. through Anaconda).
        
        To test, try this in Matlab:
        
        .. code:: matlab
        
            py.print(py.sys.version)
        
        If this works, you can also use coco after installing it through pip
        (at the windows commandline - see the installing instruction above):
        
        .. code:: matlab
        
            pip install country_converter --upgrade
        
        And in matlab:
        
        .. code:: matlab
        
            coco = py.country_converter.CountryConverter()
            countries = {'The Swedish Kingdom', 'Norway is a Kingdom too', 'Peoples Republic of China', 'Republic of China'};
            ISO2_pythontype = coco.convert(countries, pyargs('to', 'ISO2'));
            ISO2_cellarray = cellfun(@char,cell(ISO2_pythontype),'UniformOutput',false);
        
        
        Alternativley, as a long oneliner:
        
        .. code:: matlab
        
            short_names = cellfun(@char, cell(py.country_converter.convert({56, 276}, pyargs('src', 'UNcode', 'to', 'name_short'))), 'UniformOutput',false);
        
        
        All properties of coco as explained above are also available in Matlab:
        
        .. code:: matlab
        
            coco = py.country_converter.CountryConverter();
            coco.EU27
            EU27ISO3 = coco.EU27as('ISO3');
        
        These functions return a Pandas DataFrame.
        The underlying values can be access with .values (e.g.
        
        .. code:: matlab
        
            EU27ISO3.values
        
        I leave it to professional Matlab users to figure out how to further process them.
        
        See also IPython Notebook (country_converter_examples.ipynb_) for more
        information - all functions available in Python (for example passing additional
        data files, specifying the output in case of missing data) work also in Matlab
        by passing arguments through the pyargs function.
        
        
        
        Building concordances for country aggregation
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Coco provides a function for building concordance vectors, matrices and dictionaries between
        different classifications. This can be used in python as well as in matlab.  
        For furter information see (country_converter_aggregation_helper.ipynb_)

        Classification schemes
        ----------------------
        
        Currently the following classification schemes are available (see also Data sources below for further information):
        
        #) ISO2 (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2)
        #) ISO3 (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3)
        #) ISO - numeric (ISO 3166-1 numeric)
        #) UN numeric code (M.49 - follows to a large extend ISO-numeric)
        #) A standard or short name
        #) The "official" name
        #) Continent
        #) UN region
        #) EXIOBASE_ 1 classification
        #) EXIOBASE_ 2 classification
        #) EXIOBASE_ 3 classification
        #) WIOD_ classification
        #) Eora_
        #) OECD_ membership (per year)
        #) MESSAGE_ 11-region classification
        #) UN_ membership (per year)
        #) EU_ membership (per year)
        #) Cecilia_ 2050 classification
        #) APEC_
        #) BRIC_
        #) BASIC_
        #) CIS_ (as by 2019, excl. Turkmenistan)
        #) G7_
        #) G20_ (listing all EU member states as individual members)
        
        Coco contains official recognised codes as well as non-standard codes for disputed or dissolved countries. 
        To restrict the set to only the official recognized UN members or include obsolete countries, pass
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import country_converter as coco
            cc = coco.CountryConverter()
            cc_UN = coco.CountryConverter(only_UNmember=True)
            cc_all = coco.CountryConverter(include_obsolete=True)
        
            cc.convert(['PSE', 'XKX', 'EAZ', 'FRA'], to='name_short')
            cc_UN.convert(['PSE', 'XKX', 'EAZ', 'FRA'], to='name_short')
            cc_all.convert(['PSE', 'XKX', 'EAZ', 'FRA'], to='name_short')
        
        cc results in ['Palestine', 'Kosovo', 'not found', 'France'], whereas cc_UN converts to
        ['not found', 'not found', 'not found', 'France'] and cc_all converts to
        ['Palestine', 'Kosovo', 'Zanzibar', 'France']
        Note that the underlying dataframe is available at the attribute .data (e.g. cc_all.data).
        
        Data sources and further reading
        --------------------------------
        
        Most of the underlying data can be found in Wikipedia.
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1 is a good starting point.
        UN regions/codes are given on the United Nation Statistical Division (unstats_) webpage.
        For the differences between the ISO numeric and UN (M.49) codes 
        see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_M.49.
        EXIOBASE_, WIOD_ and Eora_ classification were extracted from the respective databases.
        For Eora_, the names are based on the 'Country names' csv file provided on the webpage, but
        updated for different names used in the Eora26 database. The MESSAGE 
        classification follows the 11-region aggregation given in the MESSAGE_ model 
        regions description.
        The membership of OECD_, UN_ and EU_ can be found at the membership organisations' webpages, 
        information about obsolete country codes on the Statoids_ webpage.

        The package pycountry_ provides access to the official ISO databases for historic countries, country subdivisions, languages and currencies.
        In case you need to convert non-English country names, countrynames_ includes an extensive database of country names in different languages and functions to convert them to the different ISO 3166 standards.
        Python-iso3166_ focuses on conversion between the two-letter, three-letter and three-digit codes defined in the ISO 3166 standard.
        
        If you are using R, you should have a look at countrycode_.
