Thanks, i was actually getting the error information to update the post. Apoligies to waste your time posting here - I could not find an appropriate PyCountry discussion list and my next best bet seemed to be a Python users' list.
For those who care to look, the error is as follows (a concise example from an interactive shell: import pycountry country = pycountry.countries.get(alpha2='DE') currency = pycountry.currencies.get(numeric=country.numeric) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pycountry/db.py", line 83, in get return self.indices[field][value] KeyError: '276' The obvious issue here is that the pycountry.countries collection does not contain a currency with a numeric of 276 (Germany's numeric) - yet it does contain the Euro. Any ideas as to what the way around this may be?
