The Python implementation for looking up the Chinese administrative divisions.
$ pip install GB2260
The way to look up a administrative division by its GB2260 code is
the basic interface gb2260.get(code):
>>> import gb2260
>>>
>>> division = gb2260.get(360426)
>>> print(division)
<gb2260.Division 360426 江西省/九江市/德安县>The data of a division is accessible to interfaces as following:
>>> division.code
u'360426'
>>> division.name
u'德安县'
>>> division.is_county
True
>>> division.is_province
False
>>> division.is_prefecture
False
>>> print(division.province)
<gb2260.Division 360000 江西省>
>>> print(division.prefecture)
<gb2260.Division 360400 江西省/九江市>
>>> print(division.county)
<gb2260.Division 360426 江西省/九江市/德安县>The hierarchic divisions could be generated with a iterator method:
>>> division.stack()
<generator object stack at 0x103e26a50>
>>> for current in division.stack():
... print(u'{0} {1}'.format(current.name, current.code))
