Address parser

Project description

Yet another python address parser for US postal addresses

Basic usage:

from address_parser import Parser

parser = Parser()
adr = parser.parse(line)

The adr object is a nested object with address parts as properties.

return TopBunch(
        number=Bunch(
            type='P',
            number=int(self.number) if self.number else -1,
            tnumber=str(self.number),
            end_number=self.multinumber,
            fraction=self.fraction,
            suite=self.suite,
            is_block=self.is_block
        ),

        road=Bunch(
            type='P',
            name=self.street_name,
            direction=self.street_direction if self.street_direction else '',
            suffix=self.street_type if self.street_type else ''
        ),

        locality=Bunch(
            type='P',
            city=self.city,
            state=self.state,
            zip=self.zip

        ),

        hash=self.hash,

        text=str(self)
    )

Then, you can access properties on the object. The top level properties are:

  • number: The house number
    • number.number. The number as an integer, or -1 if there is no house number

    • number.tnumber: The number as text

    • number.end_number: The final number in a number rage

    • number.fraction: The fractional part of the house number

    • number.suite: A suite or unit number.

  • road: The street
    • road.name: The bare street name

    • road.direction. A cardinal direction, N, S, E, W, NE, NW, etc.

    • road.suffix. The road type, sich as St, Ave, Pl.

  • locality: City, state, zip
    • locality.city

    • locality.state

    • locality.zip

  • text: Holds the whole address as text.

You can also access everything as dicts. From the top level, adr.dict will return all parsed components as a dict, and each of the top level bunches can also be acess as dicts, such as adr.road.dict
