"""Tools to create country lists.

Helpers that can retrieve files from ISO servers with current ISO
codes and country names.

Also helpers for turning this lists into a runnable Python module
(countries.py) are provided.

These helpers are meant to be used from the debug schell. You can use
them like this::

  $ ./bin/kofactl debug
  >>> from waeup.kofa.utils.country_helpers import update_list
  >>> from waeup.kofa.utils.country_helpers import update_module
  >>> update_list()
  >>> update_module()

This will retrieve a current list of countries and their ISO codes
from iso-committee servers, store the file locally (countries.txt) and
afterwards compile a valid Python module (countries.py) out of the
list.
