It contains no runtime dependencies and loads embedded data covering ISO 639-1, 639-2, 639-3, and 639-5. You query it by language code or name to retrieve the corresponding record with all available code representations.\n\nThe library was designed as a drop-in replacement for pycountry.languages v1.11, offering compatibility aliases (alpha2 \u2192 part1, bibliographic \u2192 part2b, terminology \u2192 part2t) alongside its native partX attribute names. It includes handling for retired language codes and macrolanguage mappings. However, the project has not been updated since 2016-04-29, and the embedded ISO data is from 2015, making it unsuitable for applications requiring current language standards or modern Python support.","worth_installing":"No. The package is dormant (last release 2016-04-29), its embedded ISO data is from 2015, and it declares support only for Python versions 2.6\u20133.5, all of which are out of support. The AGPLv3 license is also a significant constraint for proprietary projects. Use a maintained alternative instead unless you are locked into a legacy codebase that specifically depends on this package's API."},"id":"iso-639","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/iso-639","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/iso-639.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/iso-639/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-04-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"agpl","name":"iso-639","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python library for ISO 639 standard"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":78992,"position":14387,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.5"}
