"""Module for calculation and verifying the checksum of a number
using the ISO 7064 Mod 37, 2 algorithm.

Validation can be done with is_valid(). A valid number can be made by
calculating the check digit and appending it.

>>> calc_check_digit('G123489654321')
'Y'
>>> is_valid('G123489654321Y')
True
>>> checksum('G123489654321Y')
1

By changing the alphabet this can be turned into any Mod x, 2
algorithm. For example Mod 10, 2:

>>> calc_check_digit('079', alphabet='0123456789X')
'X'
>>> is_valid('079', alphabet='0123456789X')
True
>>> checksum('079', alphabet='0123456789X')
1
