inflate is a Python built command line interface that lets you quickly compute how inflation affects a sum of money in an intuitive and visually pleasing package.

## Installation

Run ``pip install inflate``. Verify that the latest version is installed by running ``inflate --version``.

## Usage

```shell
>>> inflate [OPTIONS] START END [AMOUNT]
[AMOUNT] in [START] is worth [INFLATED AMOUNT] in [END] ([INCLUSIVE/EXCLUSIVE])
```
The options are

```
-c, --country TEXT Country [either US/UK], default is UK
-i, --inclusive Include ending year, default no
-a, --average Show average annualised inflation, default no
--version Show the version and exit.
--help Show this message and exit.
```

**Example**:

```shell
>>> inflate -c US -i 1998 1999 50
$50.0 in 1998 is worth $51.51 in 1999 (inclusive).
>>> inflate -a 1998 2000 50
£50.0 in 1998 is worth £51.46 in 2000 (exclusive). The average inflation across this period was 1.46%.
```

## Current features

- [x] Able to work "backwards", that is, if you want to know how much $10 in 2018 was worth in 2000, you can do so via ``inflate -c US 2018 2000 10``
- [x] Package and publish on PyPI.
- [x] Added average inflation view
- [x] Added implementation for EUR

## Future features/work

- [ ] Add in a more detailed analytics view, showing average inflation across time period.
- [ ] Flesh out the testing modules
