"""Module for calculation and verifying the checksum of a number
using the ISO 7064 Mod 37, 36 algorithm.

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

>>> checksum('A12425GABC1234002M')
1
>>> calc_check_digit('A12425GABC1234002')
'M'
>>> is_valid('A12425GABC1234002M')
True

By changing the alphabet this can be turned into any Mod x+1, x
algorithm. For example Mod 11, 10:

>>> calc_check_digit('00200667308', alphabet='0123456789')
'5'
>>> is_valid('002006673085', alphabet='0123456789')
True
