polyfinder

Given a single-line address, polyfinder returns geoenabled data from ESRI ArcGIS REST services. In its default configuration, it uses geocoding services hosted by ESRI (primary) and MapQuest (fallback).

Currently the only useful method available is to get ward districts in Philadelphia. However, this could be easily adapted to work with other endpoints.

Formal documentation has not yet been developed, so check the docstrings and comments in the source.

Here's a simple example:

>>> from polyfinder import PolyFinder
>>> pf = PolyFinder('226 Ripka St, 19127')
>>> pf.ward_div()
