Part: General


Initial Comment:
Hi,

Thank you for your time and effort on this open source project. I use pycountry, which is a wrapper for pkg-isocodes. If XK could be correctly added as an alpha_2 code to pkg-isocodes, this library would function perfectly.

pycountry.countries.get(alpha_2="XK").name

Expected: Kosovo

Result: <type 'exceptions.KeyError'> 'XK'
