How to create a currency converter in python | Python Project

In Python, with just a few lines of code, you can write a program that converts currency into another currency using up–to–date exchange rates. First install the forex library using:

pip install forex-python

The code below will convert any currency. You just have to know the currency codes of the currencies you are about to work with. Try it out.

from forex_python.converter import CurrencyRates # Instantiate the converter
converter = CurrencyRates()
def currency_converter():
           # Enter the amount to convert
          amount = int(input("Please enter amount to convert: "))
           # currency code of the amount to convert
          from_currency = input("Enter the currency code of "
                               "amount you are converting : ").upper()
           # currency code of the amount to convert to
           to_currency = input("Enter the currency code you "
                               "are converting to: ").upper()
           # convert the amount
           converted_amount = converter.convert(from_currency,
                                                      to_currency, amount)
          return f' The amount is {converted_amount:.2f} and ' \
                      f'the currency is {to_currency}'
print(currency_converter())
