0.7.0 - 20200925

The country converter (coco) is a Python package to convert and match country names between different classifications and between different naming versions. Internally it uses regular expressions to match country names. Coco can also be used to build aggregation concordance matrices between different classification schemes.

CHANGELOG

Breaking

• removed support for python 3.5
• minimum pandas version = 1.0
• The classifications for the EU are now based on names (EU27, EU15, ...) - the
  years have been removed (Brexit had made this necessary).
• The output of the class level attributes and methods for the classifications
  (e.g. coco.OECD or coco.EXIO3as()) has changed
• The standard output of the command line changed from ISO3 to short names,
  pass --to=ISO3 for the previous behaviour

Classifications

• Added EU12, EU15, EU25, EU27_2007, EU28 and EU27 classification. This follows
  the names as explained here https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Glossary:EU_enlargements
• The classification EU is linked to EU27 (thus status after Brexit)
• The classification UN is a shortcut for UNmember
• Added IAM IMAGE and REMIND classifications
• Added EEA, for now including UK as it is still in place
• Added Schengen region classification
• Updated Lithuania OECD membership
• fixed Ireland, UK, US regex problems - UK, GB and US are now included in the
  regex search term
• changed official name of Macao to Macau

Internals

• Adding class level attributes for the shortcuts to the classifications is now automated
• multiple bug and spelling fixes
• using black and isort for the code style
• logger used in the country_converter is named (based on module name)
• re-established test coverage
