Python Country Code Examples

Example 1: Telephone Country Code Lookup

def get_country_code(country_name):
    country_codes = {
        "United States": "+1",
        "United Kingdom": "+44",
        "Canada": "+1",
        "Australia": "+61"
        # Add more country codes as needed
    }
    return country_codes.get(country_name, "Country code not found")

# Example usage:
print(get_country_code("United States"))  # Output: +1
print(get_country_code("Germany"))  # Output: Country code not found
    

Example 2: ISO Country Code Lookup

def get_iso_country_code(country_name):
    iso_country_codes = {
        "United States": "US",
        "United Kingdom": "GB",
        "Canada": "CA",
        "Australia": "AU"
        # Add more ISO country codes as needed
    }
    return iso_country_codes.get(country_name, "ISO code not found")

# Example usage:
print(get_iso_country_code("Canada"))  # Output: CA
print(get_iso_country_code("France"))  # Output: ISO code not found
    

Example 3: Country Codes in a List

country_codes = {
    "US": "United States",
    "GB": "United Kingdom",
    "CA": "Canada",
    "AU": "Australia"
    # Add more ISO country codes and country names as needed
}

# Example: Print a list of ISO codes and corresponding country names
for iso_code, country_name in country_codes.items():
    print(f"{iso_code}: {country_name}")

# Output:
# US: United States
# GB: United Kingdom
# CA: Canada
# AU: Australia
    

Example 4: Using pycountry to Get ISO Country Codes and Names

import pycountry

# Function to get ISO country code by country name
def get_iso_country_code(country_name):
    try:
        country = pycountry.countries.get(name=country_name)
        return country.alpha_2 if country else "ISO code not found"
    except LookupError:
        return "ISO code not found"

# Example usage:
print(get_iso_country_code("Canada"))  # Output: CA
print(get_iso_country_code("Germany"))  # Output: DE
print(get_iso_country_code("Nonexistent Country"))  # Output: ISO code not found
