Dave, if you don't do a PR for this, I could probably tackle it. Let me know if you want help. |

@jreback @DaveBackus If you really want the feature sooner, you could copy and paste wb.py into your sitepackage/pandas/io folder. Edit: Removed note about PEP8. Done. |
Perfect, thanks a lot. On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 3:37 PM, Jeffrey McLarty notifications@github.com

Oh - now I know what people mean about the effect of multiple rebases/squashes referencing Issue numbers. Anywho, @DaveBackus want to close this? The feature will be in 0.15.1 |
@jnmclarty this will be automatically closed when we merge the associated pr |
Perfect. Thanks a lot to everyone. On Sat, Oct 25, 2014 at 11:55 AM, jreback notifications@github.com wrote:

A minor issue: The function in pandas.io.data uses 2-letter codes to identify countries in data requests, rather than the more common 3-letter codes. The latter is closer to the social norm at the iMF, World Bank, etc. More important, they're easier to track down. If you download the World Bank data (all of it), the data includes country names and 3-letter codes, but not 2-letter codes. So to me the 3-letter codes would be more user-friendly.
Cheers.
