drogher 0.0.2

Usage

Begin by importing the Drogher module:

>>> import drogher

Now, call the barcode function with a package barcode string:

>>> package = drogher.barcode('1Z999AA10123456784')

That returns a Package subclass containing some useful information:

>>> package.barcode
'1Z999AA10123456784'
>>> package.shipper
'UPS'
>>> package.tracking_number
'1Z999AA10123456784'

We can also ensure the package is valid, which tells us the barcode matched an expected format and the calculated checksum matches the check digit:

>>> package.is_valid
True

If a barcode cannot be matched with a shipper, the class does not validate and the shipper is None:

>>> package = drogher.barcode('123456')
>>> package.is_valid
False
>>> package.shipper
None

For some shippers, the barcode is not the same as the tracking number:

>>> package = drogher.barcode('420221539101026837331000039521')
>>> package.barcode
'420221539101026837331000039521'
>>> package.tracking_number
'9101026837331000039521'
>>> package.shipper
'USPS'
