Requires python2.7.x for development. Initially, you need to install prerequisites (simplejson) thru setup.py.

# python setup.py install
...
Installed /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

Depending on your PYTHON configuration, setup.py will put files in /usr/local/lib/pythonx.x/site-packages/

Development and Testing

python geocodertests.py

Reverse Geocode

from nominatim import ReverseGeocoder
client = ReverseGeocoder("http://127.0.0.1/nominatim/reverse.php?format=json")

print response['full_address']

# createdb -E utf8 testdb
# psql -d testdb -f setup.sql
# psql -d testdb
# SELECT reverse_geocode('http://127.0.0.1/nominatim/reverse.php?format=json', -37.856206, 145.233980);
