Find area of latitude/longitude bounding box offline in python

Question

I want to find area of latitude/longitude bounding box in square meters. I need to do this quickly, that's why the solution should be offline.

@latheiere: that yields a lot of shit. Not wrong to ask for some pointers. You can google anything, if you just-know-the-name... — RickyA, Nov 12 '13 at 21:47

I usually use Shapely for this kind of tasks. However... this particular problem is not as easy as it looks, since you would need to transform your lat/lon data to a more appropriate projection. You can use pyproj for that.
