pygeocity 0.1

This package will take a latitude and longitude coordinate which will return the country, city name, alternate name(s), population, timezone, and exact coordinates of the city.

GeoNames - Find City Name with Population > 1000

Opendatasoft has as a dataset from GeoNames which contains all cities with a population greater than a thousand people. This dataset will be used to create a reverse geocode function, called search. This project has been inspired by Richard Penman's reverse-geocode project. Like Richard Penman's approach, I too am using a k-d tree which is implemented using the SciPy library.

This package will take a latitude and longitude coordinate which will return the country, city name, alternate name(s), population, timezone, and exact coordinates of the city.

Dependencies

• Python 3.11.4
• Pandas 2.0.3
• SciPy 1.11.1

Example usage:

This package only has one function search and it has a single parameter coordinate.

Enter latitude and longitude into the search function, as a list, to get your results.

>>> import pygeocity
>>> pygeocity.search([11.85812, -86.23922])

Outputs:
    {
        0: 3620170,
        1: 'Diriamba',
        2: 'Diriamba',
        3: 'Diriamba,Diriambo',
        4: 'NI',
        5: 'Nicaragua',
        6: 35008,
        7: 'America/Managua',
        8: '2018-08-08',
        9: 'Nicaragua',
        10: '11.85812, -86.23922',
        11: ' -86.23922',
        12: '11.85812'
    }

One can also enter a list of multiple latitudes and longitudes into the search function to get your results.

>>> pygeocity.search([11.85812, -86.23922],[12.4825, -87.17304])

Outputs:
    {
        'Geoname ID': {0: 3620170, 1: 3620269},
        'Name': {0: 'Diriamba', 1: 'Corinto'},
        'ASCII Name': {0: 'Diriamba', 1: 'Corinto'},
        'Alternate Names': {0: 'Diriamba,Diriambo', 1: 'Corinto'},
        'Country Code': {0: 'NI', 1: 'NI'},
        'Country name EN': {0: 'Nicaragua', 1: 'Nicaragua'},
        'Population': {0: 35008, 1: 19183},
        'Timezone': {0: 'America/Managua', 1: 'America/Managua'},
        'Modification date': {0: '2018-08-08', 1: '2018-08-08'},
        'LABEL EN': {0: 'Nicaragua', 1: 'Nicaragua'},
        'Coordinates': {0: '11.85812, -86.23922', 1: '12.4825, -87.17304'},
        'Longitude': {0: ' -86.23922', 1: ' -87.17304'},
        'Latitude': {0: '11.85812', 1: '12.4825'}
    }
