Geopy: OSError: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable

Question

I'm using Geopy library to convert a list of English name locations to latitude and longitude. However, halfway through the execution, the program raised an error: OSError: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable. I was wondering if there's related to my code or it's simply the network error?

My code:

from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
import pandas as pd


df = pd.read_csv('/*****.csv')

for cell in df['Offices']:
    cell = pinyin.get(cell, format="strip", delimiter='')
    place = str(cell)
    geolocator = Nominatim(timeout=3)
    location = geolocator.geocode(place)
    print(location)
    if location:
        print((location.latitude, location.longitude))
print('Converting finished.')

The full exception as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    encode_chunked=req.has_header('Transfer-encoding'))

Generally, [OSError](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OSError) raises for system-related errors returned from system functions. So, yes, I would check the network first. Try reaching `nominatim.openstreetmap.org` from the machine you run the code on. — shmee, Oct 16 '18 at 09:52
