Description
-----------

*Extracts useful information from Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)*

* Can be used as a standalone console application (CLI).
* One can also use import it as any other package in your Python code.
* Gives basic and detailed info (is available) about VIN.
* Allows VIN checksum verification.

Additional info available for many vehicles from:

* AvtoVAZ
* Nissan
* Opel
* Renault


Requirements
------------

* Python 3.6+
* ``click`` package for CLI


Usage
-----

CLI
~~~

``click`` package is required for CLI. You can install ``vininfo`` with ``click`` using::

    $ pip install vininfo[cli]


.. code-block:: bash

    $ vininfo --help

    ; Print out VIN info:
    $ vininfo show XTAGFK330JY144213

    ; Basic:
    ; Country: USSR/CIS
    ; Manufacturer: AvtoVAZ
    ; Region: Europe
    ; Years: 2018, 1988
    ;
    ; Details:
    ; Body: Station Wagon, 5-Door
    ; Engine: 21179
    ; Model: Vesta
    ; Plant: Izhevsk
    ; Serial: 144213
    ; Transmission: Manual Renault

    ; Verify checksum
    $ vininfo check 1M8GDM9AXKP042788
    ; Checksum is valid


Python
~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

    from vininfo import Vin

    vin = Vin('VF1LM1B0H36666155')

    vin.country  # France
    vin.manufacturer  # Renault
    vin.region  # Europe
    vin.wmi  # VF1
    vin.vds  # LM1B0H
    vin.vis  # 36666155

    annotated = vin.annotate()
    details = vin.details

    vin.verify_checksum()  # False
    Vin('1M8GDM9AXKP042788').verify_checksum()  # True


Development
-----------

One can add missing WMI(s) using instructions from ``dicts/wmi.py``:
``WMI`` dictionary, that maps WMI strings to manufacturers.

Those manufacturers may be represented by simple strings, or instances of ``Brand``
subclasses (see ``brands.py``).

If you know how to decode additional information (model, body, engine, etc.)
encoded in VIN, you may also want to create a so-called `details extractor`
for a brand.

Details extractors are ``VinDetails`` subclasses in most cases making use of
``Detail`` descriptors to represent additional information
(see ``details/nissan.py`` for example).
