NUTS classification

The nomenclature (read the docs) package makes use of the pysquirrel package (more information here) to provide a utility for region names based on the NUTS classification.

This feature allows users to easily import the NUTS regions which are territorial units with multiple levels of resolution, adding functionality to facilitate scenario analysis and model comparison.

The full list of NUTS regions is accessible in Eurostat’s Excel file.
