I have a list of countries like:
countries=['American Samoa', 'Canada', 'France'...]
I want to convert them like this:
countries=['AS', 'CA', 'FR'...]
Is there any module or any way to convert them?
There is a module called pycountry
.
Here's an example code:
import pycountry
input_countries = ['American Samoa', 'Canada', 'France']
countries = {}
for country in pycountry.countries:
countries[country.name] = country.alpha_2
codes = [countries.get(country, 'Unknown code') for country in input_countries]
print(codes) # prints ['AS', 'CA', 'FR']
