easy_install vinlib #or pip install vinlib
Done.
Using vinlib
In python code you can check if the vin is valid:
import vinlib myvinnumber='1hasomenumberhere' print vinlib.check_vin(myvinnumber)
This will return true or false depending if the vin number is correct or not.
In python code you can decode vin’s year:
import vinlib
print vinlib.Vin('1ZVIHaveAVinNumber17').year
Additional Examples:
import vinlib
#get year from a vin
print vinlib.Vin('1ZVIHaveAVinNumber17').year
#check if vin is valid.
print vinlib.Vin('1ZVIHaveAVinNumber17').check
Enjoy,
vinlib team.
