How far is my locality?

Objective:

Find the distance of all localities in a city from a desired locality.

Tools:

• Python
• Geocoding libraries - pgeocode, geopy, geocoder
• Open data of location from govt websites

Steps:

• This can approached in two ways by computing distance between using

  • pincodes
  • longtidues-latitudes

• Three methods have been tried to converge at better results:

  1. pgeocode - Postal code geocoding and distance calculations
  2. geopy - Distance between localities using longitude & latitude
  3. geocoder & geopy - Get Latitude & longitude of localities & compute distance using geopy
