Should this work?

>>> pycountry.currencies.lookup(u'EUR')
Currency(alpha_3='EUR', name='Euro', numeric='978')
>>> pycountry.currencies.lookup(u'€')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Judging by the package names I would say that you are asking in the wrong place. I expect that after almost two years you have already realised this, but if it is still a problem(!) I think you will find that you are using pycountry. …and a quick look at the code suggests to me that the answer is no, it doesn't provide a lookup for currency symbol: this is because (as far as I can see) the databases used do not contain the symbols.

@GeoffRiley thank you for clarification and answering this issue.

No sure how it could slipped form my attention in the whole time.
