Are the iso3166 and pycountry dependencies doing the same thing?

Hi - thanks for this library! We're using it for IBAN validation.

While reviewing the dependencies pulled in by this library, I noticed that both iso3166 and pycountry are added. As far as I can tell, both libraries ship the alpha 2 and alpha 3 country codes and that appears to be how they are used in this library.

If this observation is correct, perhaps one of the dependencies could be dropped (probably drop the one that's used the least)?

Of course, I might be missing something here, but if it could be an oversight, I can draw up a PR.

In case I'm plain wrong and there's a deliberate reason that I missed, I understand if you simply close this question :)

Hej @sergei-maertens,
you are completely right. I will remove the iso3166-library from the dependencies. Thanks for the heads-up.

The iso3166-dependency has been removed in release 2024.05.0

Awesome, thanks for the quick follow up!
