syscli-algeria

The 69 wilayas and 1541 communes of Algeria, taken from the Journal officiel, with French and Arabic names, ONS codes, and search that understands the many ways a place name gets spelled. The Python twin of the npm package @syscli/algeria, with the same data and the same search.

pip install syscli-algeria

from syscli_algeria import wilaya, communes, commune, search, changes

wilaya(16).name_fr                 # "Alger"
len(communes(68))                  # 23
commune("1601").wilaya_code        # "16"

search("bou saada")[0].wilaya.code       # "68"
search("Bains Romains")[0].commune.name_fr  # "Hammamet", by its old official name
search("tamanghaset")[0].commune.name_fr    # "Tamenghasset", despite the typo

len(changes(2026))                 # 108 communes moved to another wilaya in 2026

Up to date with loi 26-06 of 4 April 2026 (58 to 69 wilayas) and decret presidentiel 26-206. Every wilaya and commune traces back to a text published in the Journal officiel; see https://github.com/syscli/algeria.
