Hi,

there are some packages which contain country info, also they can be
downloaded from several places

packages:
https://github.com/manumanoj0010/countrydetails
rectangle
https://pypi.org/project/countryinfo/
geojson

https://geopy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
retrieves data from several map providers

download:
http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/
rectangle


some place contains geojson which contains borders not as a rectangle, but
as line of several points, if you need that.
the standard:
https://geojson.org/


also you can search for download geojson ...

BR,
George
