py-geocoder's Introduction

PinPointGeocoder

PinPoint is a side project I have been developing. It started out as a small Python module to parse out and clean addresses - particularly ones with bad or incorrect data. The project eventually grew from an address parser to full scale geocoder - allthough, we're not there...yet!

I have stopped developing this version. Please see: https://github.com/taurenk/PinPointGeocoder

The goal of PinPoint is to make a fully functioning and accurate open source geocoder built with Python, open data and PostgreSQL.

Curently, the geocoder supports only single addresses (aka no intersections). There is a lot of work to do so please feel free to help out!

Python dependencies

jellyfish - Calculating Metaphones
psycopg2 - Postgresql Driver

py-geocoder's Issues

Load test DB with 50 states data

The test DB is currently loaded with only NY state data. A new test DB needs to spun up (in AWS VPC), loaded with data and then tested.

Intersection Geocoding Algorithm

Currently, intersection geocoding is NOT supported. From my research there's a few ways to to do this - but any basic functionality here would be awesome.

Interpolation code

The interpolation code in engine.py seems to be off for certain addresses.
Example; 6 caputo drive manorville ny 11949 interpolates to the next street....

Make a real JSON result

I would like PinPoint to return a real JSON result set. This includes defining geocoding levels and a standard structure. Google has a good article on this I'll link in later.

the $1 (not million) dollar problem.

It's apprently difficult to geocode an address with the right zip code but wrong city [or vice versa].
Example: 1 McGuirk Street East Hampton NY 11949

US Geocoder cannot do this:

http://geocoder.us/demo.cgi?address=1+mcguirk+street+east+hampton+ny+11949

PinPoint sorta can do it!

works: 1 mcguirk street east hampton ny 11949
does not work: 1 mcguirk street east hampton new york 11949

It seems due to a bug, we can do this! I need to figure out why PinPoint can do this...thanks bug.
