Thanks again for opening this issue. If someone has very specific suggestions for changes to the regular expressions, I encourage them to create a Pull Request by modifying the `dictionary/data_regex.csv`...

Thanks for the report. Does one of those indicators return 3-letter codes when you call the `WDI` function with just that one indicator? If so, this would indicate that there...

Thanks for the report @courtiol . You diagnosed the problem correctly. `countrycode`'s default conversion dictionary uses countries as its basic unit of conversion; it only includes codes that are associated...

Yeah, that sounds useful. I don't have a general mechanism in mind (yet), but maybe we could leverage (and perhaps extend) the new dictionary attribute support.
