A simple (really simple) library for working with ISO639-2 language codes. Tested for Python 2.7 & 3.4.
Includes data from Congress library: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php (+ updates)
The easiest way is using pip:
pip install iso639
If you are using Fedora 24+, you can install iso639 using dnf:
dnf install python2-iso639
# or
dnf install python3-iso639
Thanks, unknown Fedora packagers :-)
