Currency Converter using Python 🐍 & Steamlit

Recently had reason to create a little currency converter app. I decided to do it it Python as I've not had the chance to use the language for a while.

I didn’t want to have to build a whole UI or access a fully blown db as it was just overkill.

After some research I decided on the following tech stack:

• Python 3.10
• Poetry - for dependency management
• Streamlit - for the UI framework
• CVS & Pandas - for data storage
• APILayer.io - for the currency convert API

I certainly had fun solving this little challenge.

Decided to spit the code architecture into sections to keep things neat and tidy.

.
└── currency-converter/
    ├── api.py -- remote api cal related functions
    ├── audit_log.py -- read/write from audit log
    ├── common.py -- common lists, etc
    └── currency_converter.py -- main python file

There is a live demo of the app available here: https://jgibbarduk-currency-converter-currency-converter-v6ohj8.streamlit.app
