VIES inspection

Open tappoz opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

This PR provides:

  • Support for VIES inspections to retrieve VAT information about any registered company in the European Union.
  • A handy PyPI badge in the README.md file to be able to link the Github repo with the PyPI page for this project.

Unfortunately there must be a silly mistake in the way I implemented the CLI feature, because it throws an error when invoked like:

a38tool vies --country-code IT --vat-number 00934460049

From looking at the code it seems some obvious gotcha that at the moment I am not finding. What's missing? If this gets sorted, then I would like to document some context around VIES in the README.md if that's fine with you.
