These intermediate classes allow for defining multiple providers, and overriding the implementation slightly for each one
| self.providers = [ | ||
| CurrencyRatesForexAPI(*args, **kwargs), | ||
| CurrencyRatesExchangeRateHost(*args, **kwargs) | ||
| ] |

Defines list of providers to try in order

These tests just don't work. It appears the current API allows sending a future date and will just treat it as current. Commenting them out for now

convert now relies on get_rate rather than reimplementing the API call.
Logic is just overall simpler now

Pulled this implementation from this PR: #127
|
thank you @Cruuncher this is awesome contribuion ihave been waiting for. We will review and release ASAP. |
|
@ashwin31 Let me know if there's any changes you'd like! The text of some exceptions may be different with this change |
|
Could anyone merge this? |
In this PR, we implement the ability for the API to automatically fallback to alternate APIs so that the probability of availability is higher. Adding new providers should be easy enough with this change
