Description : Map country names to ISO codes
This library helps with the mapping of country names to their respective
two or three letter codes. The idea is to incorporate common names for
countries, and even some limited misspellings, as they occur in source data.
.
There is also support for fuzzy matching, which uses a heuristic based on
Levenshtein distance.
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
I wonder if this upstream and pycountry would be interested in
cooperating. Keeping multiple databases like these up to date is awkward.

(pycountry uses Debian's iso-codes package for its data)
