Python module for getting latitude and longitude from the name of a US city
Have a look at geopy. In the “getting started” documentation it shows: >>> from geopy import geocoders >>> gn = geocoders.GeoNames() >>> print gn.geocode(“Cleveland, OH 44106”) (u’Cleveland, OH, US’, (41.4994954, -81.6954088)) >>> gn.geocode(“Cleveland, OH”, exactly_one=False)[0] (u’Cleveland, OH, US’, (41.4994954, -81.6954088))
