Geohash KeyError when reading in CSV

Question

I'm trying to read in a CSV of geohashes, to be converted to lat/longs. I'm using Python's Geohash module. Here's my code:

import Geohash
import csv
with open('C:\Users\Data\myData.csv') as csvfile:
    readCSV = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',')
    for row in readCSV:
        geoHash = row[0]
        print(str(geoHash)) #This prints sucessfully
        geoStr = str(geoHash)
        Geohash.decode(geoStr) #This fails

The code only fails on the very last line, geoStr outputs each geohash successfully. The error I'm getting is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File

"C:/Users/PycharmProjects/GeoHash/GeoHash_to_LatLong.py", line 11, in <module>
    Geohash.decode(geoStr)
  File "C:\Users\PycharmProjects\GeoHash\venv\lib\site-packages\Geohash\geohash.py", line 68, in decode
    lat, lon, lat_err, lon_err = decode_exactly(geohash)
  File "C:\Users\PycharmProjects\GeoHash\venv\lib\site-packages\Geohash\geohash.py", line 44, in decode_exactly
    cd = __decodemap[c]
KeyError: 'o'

I've checked the CSV and there doesn't appear to be any odd characters or anything that would cause this to fail. Any thoughts?

Is the last line of your CSV file empty? If not, add the line to your question to allow us to recreate the problem. — Martin Evans, May 20 '19 at 08:09
"0123456789bcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz" these characters can be present in a geohash. 'o' is in an invalid character. When the decode encounters an invalid char it will throw an error. — Akshay Kumar, Aug 08 '19 at 05:00
