"""Calculate building floors from the Spanish Cadastre GIS files (SHP).
Once logged, data can be downloaded from https://www.sedecatastro.gob.es/
and the data specification is at
http://www.catastro.minhap.gob.es/ayuda/manual_descriptivo_shapefile.pdf
This python script is to be used in the QGIS 2.x field calculator.
The "CONSTRU" field stores volumetric data and other attributes in the form
of a structured text code. Floor numbers are in roman numerals.
As for example, "-II+IV+TZA" is a building part with two underground floors,
four floors above ground and a roof terrace. This script analyzes the
"CONSTRU" code to get an integer for the total floors.
This code is based on the Mark Pilgrim's script
Convert to and from Roman numerals (http://diveintopython.org/)
