geopy is a Python client library for popular geocoding web services like OpenStreetMap Nominatim and Google Geocoding API. It lets developers convert addresses to coordinates, reverse-geocode coordinates to addresses, and calculate geodesic distances between points.
Use cases
- convert addresses to latitude and longitude in python
- reverse geocode coordinates to street addresses
- calculate distance between two geographic points
- geocode a list of cities or landmarks
- integrate nominatim or google geocoding into a python app
- look up coordinates of an address for a map feature
When to choose
- you need a unified python interface to multiple geocoding services
- you want forward and reverse geocoding with geodesic distance math
- you need a mature, MIT-licensed library with broad service support
When to avoid
- you need offline geocoding without third-party web services
- you need routing, directions, or turn-by-turn navigation
- you are building in a non-python stack
