Coverage Status travis status

Pygeohash is a Python module that provides functions for decoding and encoding geohashes to and from latitude and longitude coordinates, and doing basic calculations and approximations with them.

It is based off of Leonard Norrgård's geohash module, but aims to add more functionality while supporting python 3 as well.

Usage

To use pygeohash:

import pygeohash as pgh

pgh.encode(latitude=42.6, longitude=-5.6)
# >>> 'ezs42e44yx96'

pgh.encode(latitude=42.6, longitude=-5.6, precision=5)
# >>> 'ezs42'

pgh.decode(geohash='ezs42')
# >>> ('42.6', '-5.6')

pgh.geohash_approximate_distance(geohash_1='bcd3u', geohash_2='bc83n')
# >>> 625441

pgh.get_adjacent(geohash='kd3ybyu', direction='right')
# >>> kd3ybyv

Installation

Pygeohash has no requirements outside of the python stdlib, and aims to keep it that way if at all possible. To install:

pip install pygeohash
