   Mod 97, 10, Mod 11, 10 and Mod 37, 36

Basically any number or code that has some validation mechanism available
or some common formatting is eligible for inclusion into this library.

These modules generally do not provide background information on the meaning
and use of the specified numbers, only parsing and handling functions.

Interface
---------

Most of these modules implement the following functions:

validate() - validate the correctness of the passed number and return a
             compact representation of the number
             invalid numbers are rejected with one of the exceptions
             from the stdnum.exceptions module
compact() - return a compact representation of the number or code
            this function generally does not do validation but may raise
            exceptions for wildly incorrect numbers
format() - return a formatted version of the number in the preferred format
           this function generally expects to be passed a valid number or code

Apart from the above, the module may add extra parsing, validation or
conversion functions.

Requirements
------------

The modules should not require any external Python modules and should be
pure Python. The modules are developed and tested with Python 2.6 but may
also work with older versions of Python.
