pycountry

pycountry is a Python library that provides access to various ISO standards databases, including ISO 3166 (countries and their subdivisions), ISO 639 (languages), ISO 4217 (currencies), and ISO 15924 (scripts). It acts as a pure wrapper around Debian's `pkg-isocodes` database, making this data accessible through a Python API, complete with translation files. The library is actively maintained, with data updates typically following the `pkg-isocodes` updates rather than a fixed release schedule. The current version is 26.2.16.
