I attach here a file with 3 different way to parse Google Places API.

Please put your Google API key token into the variable [PutHereYourGoogleAPIKey] to make the script work.

The script contains 3 loops:

• the first loop works and that's how I fixed the problem
• the second loop fail because of the elif
• the third loop works because all elif were removed

Hi, Francesco.

This isn't the appropriate place to ask for help with your script.

I suggest trying the python-list mailing list.

What are you claiming is the bug? I don't understand what you think the problem is.

Don't dump a large script in our laps and expect us to get a Google API key to run it. Forget that, it isn't going to happen. Simplify your code to make the smallest, simplest demonstration you can.

Please read: http://sscce.org/

Then tell us:

• what you expect to happen
• what actually happens
• show any output you get
• including any exception.

To start with, there's no need to query five fields, if one field is enough. Make your code as simple as you can. Don't leave "dead code" commented out, delete it.

Oops, accidentally messed up the status. Fixing now.

Francesco, if you simplify your code and come back with a detailed description of what you think the bug is, then we will investigate.
