Merge to upstream commit 8c37310deb49; code changes:

• Switching the internal implementation of is_possible_number and related functions to use the new possibleLengths metadata. This affects a lot of countries, making is_possible_number more restrictive as more precise data is available. It also affects parsing ambiguous and invalid numbers, as we decide whether to strip a possible national prefix (1) or country code based on the length of the number and whether it is possible before or after this.
• Formatting, naming and comment tweaks to follow style guide
• Removal of unneeded _can_be_geocoded method in the timezone.py file, using phonenumberutil.py instead

Merge to upstream commit 1ec4d341c3cd; no code changes that affect the Python version so this is just a version bump to stay in sync with upstream.

Merge to upstream commit 7cc500f588db; code changes:

• phonemetadata.py has two more fields to represent possible lengths of phone numbers. Changed buildmetadatafromxml.py to alter the way that metadata about possible-lengths information is consumed when constructing metadata to populate these. Discussion list email

Merge to upstream commit ddf60b1c175e; code changes:

• Made is_number_geographical() public and added is_number_type_geographical(), and changed the geocoder to use this when checking whether to give a detailed answer or country-level only.

Merge to upstream commit 3f83454ed62b; no code changes that affect the Python version so this is just a version bump to stay in sync with upstream.

Merge to upstream commit 598b9a4f89d6; no code changes that affect the Python version so this is just a version bump to stay in sync with upstream.

Merge to upstream commit d933631fbf15; code changes:

• Added support for region_code of None in example_number_for_type()
• Added invalid_example_number()
• Improvements to docstring for parse method
• Update is_number_geographical to return true for geographical mobile numbers.

Merge to upstream commit ab5e61acc087ec9f5, which is 7.2.1 (7.2.0 had an immediate problem on release); upstream changelog mentions no code changes, but the Java implementation includes a change to use nano protobufs.

Merge to upstream commit 903ac5de5b6e1112; upstream code changelog:

• Only upstream code change doesn't affect python version (New MetadataSource implementation that reads from a single metadata file with all regions' phone number metadata.)

Merge to upstream Subversion revision 715; upstream code changelog:

• New APIs for ShortNumberInfo. The old APIs have been deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming release.

Merge to upstream Subversion revision 703; upstream code changelog:

• Changing the offline geocoder to not return any country at all if the number could belong to multiple countries
• Removing obsolete code that treated countries with no metadata as valid.

Merge to upstream Subversion revision 674; upstream code changelog:

• Better exclusion of dates when matching phone numbers from text.
• Handle phone input in RFC3966 with missing tel: prefix

Merge to upstream Subversion revision 656; upstream code changelog:

• Adding MetadataLoader support to allow custom metadata loading from alternative sources (should have no visible impact to users).
• Fixing bug where digits could be lost in as-you-type formatting and formatting patterns incorrectly applied.

Split geographic metadata into chunks. Generate separate phonenumbers-lite package. (No upstream changes.)

Removed beta status. Merge up to upstream Subversion revision 650; upstream code changelog:

• Better support for detecting phone numbers in text that are beside each other
• Change to how Japanese numbers beginning with "00" are modelled, with the side-effect that the maximum possible number length has been extended by 1.
• Handle StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in the AsYouTypeFormatter when the national prefix that was extracted was not found in the prefix. This affected countries with very long carrier codes, such as Korea.
• Removal of some of the author attributions - contributions to be tracked in CONTRIBUTORS file.

The codebase now supports Python 2.5-2.7 and Python 3.x out of the box, without needing 2to3 conversion.

The top-level module no longer exports the following functions:

• country_name_for_number
• description_for_number
• description_for_valid_number

These functions now need to be imported via the phonenumbers.geocoder submodule.

The short number functions have been renamed:

• is_possible_short_number_object becomes is_possible_short_number
• is_possible_short_number becomes is_possible_short_number_for_object
• is_valid_short_number_object becomes is_valid_short_number
• is_valid_short_number becomes is_valid_short_number_for_object
• expected_cost becomes expected_cost_for_region, and there's a new expected_cost function that takes a PhoneNumber object.

Merge up to upstream Subversion revision 622; upstream code changelog:

• Adding support for numbers with multiple Italian leading zeros, by adding a field to the phone number proto to allow an arbitrary number of leading zeros, and supporting this when parsing, validating and formatting.
• Adding more functionality to ShortNumberInfo -> such as GetExpectedCostForRegion.
• Fix for parsing short numbers that start with the national prefix.
• Updating FormatNumberForMobileDialing to work with short numbers.
• Stop finding Israeli 4-digit "star" numbers in text when no star is in fact present.
• Bug fix for finding phone numbers where the area code was also part of the country calling code.

Rename shortnumberutil.py to shortnumberinfo.py. Merge up to upstream Subversion revision 603; upstream code changelog:

• Renamed ShortNumberUtil to ShortNumberInfo -> the former class is now deprecated and will be deleted in a later release. At the moment it just delegates to ShortNumberInfo.
• New methods in the ShortNumberInfo API - isCarrierSpecific, singleton interface, isPossibleShortNumber, isValidShortNumber, getShortNumberCost. Note this is an experimental API at the moment and subject to change.
• Bug fixes:
  • AsYouTypeFormatting: 3-digit numbers can be formatted as a group where appropriate
  • AsYouTypeFormatting: Countries with an optional national prefix were considered before to have always entered it, resulting in bugs where numbers without the national prefix were not properly formatted.
  • Numbers in Chile that overlap with emergency numbers are no longer marked as connecting to them
  • Not requiring the NDC to be alone for countries where there is no national prefix in strict grouping when extracting phone numbers

Fix setup.py to include new .shortdata sub-package.

Merge up to upstream Subversion revision 594; upstream code changelog:

• Improve phone number extraction recall.
• Add support for loading short number metadata.

Merge up to upstream Subversion revision 579; upstream code changelog:

• Fix for as-you-type-formatting bug affecting countries with no national prefix formatting rule, such as China.

Merge up to upstream Subversion revision 574; upstream code changelog:

• Changed internal initialization code and made more fields final. Note that we now throw an exception if an attempt is made to set the metadata more than once (which should only happen during testing).
• Fix problem with formatNumberForMobileDialing for HU and CL.

Load metadata on demand rather than all at start of day. Merge up to upstream Subversion revision 557; upstream code changelog:

• Switch formatNumberForMobileDialing to prefer national format to international format when the number is dialed from the same region the phone number is from.
