Gotta get schwifty with your IBANs ==================================

.. teaser-begin

`schwifty is a Python library that let's you easily work with IBANs and BICs as specified by the ISO. IBAN is the Internation Bank Account Number and BIC the Business Identifier Code. Both are used for international money transfer.

Features --------

schwifty lets you

  • validate_ check-digits and the country specific format of IBANs
  • validate_ format and country codes from BICs
  • generate_ BICs from country and bank-code
  • generate_ IBANs from country-code, bank-code and account-number.
  • generate_ random valid IBANs
  • get the BIC associated to an IBAN's bank-code
  • access all relevant components as attributes
See the docs _ for more inforamtion.

Versioning ----------

Since the IBAN specification and the mapping from BIC to bank_code is updated from time to time, schwifty uses CalVer _ for versioning with the scheme YY.0M.Micro.

.. installation-begin

Installation ------------

To install schwifty, simply:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install schwifty

.. installation-end

Development -----------

The only prerequisite to work on schwifty is uv_. Running uv sync creates a virtual environment with all development dependencies (including the tools mentioned below).

We use ruff_ as code formatter and linter. This avoids discussions about style preferences in the same way as gofmt does the job for Golang. The conformance to the formatting rules is checked in the CI pipeline, so that it is recommendable to install the configured prek_-hook, in order to avoid long feedback-cycles.

.. code-block:: bash

$ uv sync --all-groups --all-extras $ uv run prek install

You can also run uv run poe fmt to format the code or use one of the available editor integrations_. See the contributing guide_ for the full list of development commands and the contribution workflow.

Project Information -------------------

schwifty is released under MIT_ license and its documentation lives at Read the Docs_. The code is maintained on GitHub_ and packages are distributed on PyPI_

Name ~~~~

Since swift and swiftly were already taken by the OpenStack-project, but we somehow wanted to point out the connection to SWIFT, Rick and Morty came up with the idea to name the project schwifty`.
