Project description
Vincenty
Calculate the geographical distance (in kilometers or miles) between 2 points with extreme accuracy.
Example: distance between Boston and New York City
>>> from vincenty import vincenty >>> boston = (42.3541165, -71.0693514) >>> newyork = (40.7791472, -73.9680804) >>> vincenty(boston, newyork) 298.396057 >>> vincenty(boston, newyork, miles=True) 185.414657
