lino_xl.lib.sepa.utils

This defines two functions which convert a Belgian National Bank Account Number (NBAN) into an (IBAN, BIC) pair.

There are two ways to implement this:

Usage examples:

>>> belgian_nban_to_iban_bic('340-1549215-66')
('BE07340154921566', 'BBRUBEBB')
>>> belgian_nban_to_iban_bic('001-6012719-56')
('BE20001601271956', 'GEBABEBB')
>>> belgian_nban_to_iban_bic('063-4975581-01')
('BE43063497558101', 'GKCCBEBB')

Here is an invalid Belgian NBAN:

>>> belgian_nban_to_iban_bic("001-1148294-83")  
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValidationError: [u'Belgian NBAN ends with 83 (expected 84)!']

This is also used by lino_xl.lib.sepa.
