real-money

Money class for Python 3.7 and higher. Forked from py-money. It has been forked as the original library seems unmantained, and some of the currencies have changed since the last update.

Unlike other Python money classes, this class enforces that all monetary amounts are represented with the correct number of decimal places for the currency. For example, 3.678 USD is invalid, as is 5.5 JPY.

Installation

Install the latest release with:

pip install real-money

If you want to have localised formatting, you should install with Babel:

pip install real-money[babel]

Usage

A Money object can be created with an amount (specified as a string) and a currency from the Currency class:

from money import Currency, Money
m = Money("9.95", Currency.GBP)
m
# GBP 9.95

If you try to use more decimals than declared for the currency in the ISO 4217 standard, it will throw an error:

m = Money("4.624", Currency.EUR)
# InvalidAmountError: Invalid amount for currency
m = Money("1200.5", Currency.JPY)
# InvalidAmountError: Invalid amount for currency

Money objects can also be created from and converted to sub units:

m = Money.from_sub_units(499, Currency.USD)
m
# USD 4.99
m.sub_units
# 499

Money is inmutable and supports most mathematical and logical operators:

m = Money("10.00", Currency.USD)
m / 2
# USD 5.00
m + Money("3.00", Currency.USD)
# USD 13.00
m > Money("5.55", Currency.USD)
# True
m < Money("5.55", Currency.USD)
# False

Money will automatically round to the correct number of decimal places for the currency:

m = Money("9.95", Currency.EUR)
m * 0.15
# EUR 1.49
m = Money("10", Currency.JPY)
m / 3
# JPY 3

Money can be formatted for different locales (if you have Babel):

Money("3.24", Currency.USD).format("en_US")
# $3.24
Money("9.95", Currency.EUR).format("es_ES")
# 9,95 €
Money("7.36", Currency.EUR).format("en_UK")
# £7.36
Money("94", Currency.JPY).format("ja_JP")
# ￥94

Money does not support conversion between currencies. Mathematical and logical operations between two money objects are only allowed if both objects are of the same currency. Otherwise, an error will be thrown:

Money("1.25", Currency.USD) + Money("2", Currency.EUR)
# CurrencyMismatchError: Currencies must match

real-money is a fork of py-money.

Much of the code is borrowed from carlospalol/money. Much of the logic for handling foreign currencies is taken from sebastianbergmann/money. Money formatting is powered by Babel.
