rvgeocoder 1.0.8

Offline reverse geocoder

Reverse Geocoder takes a latitude / longitude coordinate and returns the nearest town/city. This library improves on existing libraries called reverse_geocode developed by Richard Penman & reverse_geocoder by Ajay Thampi in the following ways:

• support init non-singleton instance of RGeocoder to support different stream simultaneously (creating RGeocoderImpl class to support that)

• added the capability change the header columns when loading custom stream and loaded different schemas

• added query_dist to support returning distance in addtion to the reverse geocoding data itself

• added do_extract to trigger extraction for any Geonames file, e.g: 1000, 15000 etc

• removed win32 and python2 support. added utility function to load data from files/buffers

Example usage:

>>> import rvgeocoder as rvg
>>> coordinates = (41.852968, -87.725730), (48.836364, 2.357422)
>>> rvg.search(coordinates)
