geopy allows you to convert between partial place names and latitude/longitude coordinates by wrapping many different online API's and providing access through one standard interface. Additionally, it contains convenience functions for parsing lat/long coordinates and finding as-the-crow-flies distance between them.

geopy makes it easy for developers to locate the coordinates of addresses, cities, countries, and landmarks across the globe using third-party geocoders and other data sources.

geopy includes support for many geocoders such as Google Maps, Bing Maps, Nominatim, and GeoNames.
