  Description     : Geocoding toolbox for Python

geopy makes it easy for developers to locate the coordinates of
addresses, cities, countries, and landmarks across the globe using
third-party geocoders and other sources of data, such as wikis.
It also comes with the necessary means for parsing geographical
coordinates and geodesic distance calculation (using great-circle
distance or Vincenty distance). The distance module also contains
useful routines for converting between length and angle units.
