1. geocoder is a simple and consistent geocoding library.

2. folium builds on the data-wrangling strengths of the Python ecosystem and the mapping strengths of the leaflet.js library. Manipulate your data in Python, then visualize it on a Leaflet map via folium.

Install library:

pip install geocoder
pip install folium

Now let's use geocoder to do several demo projects.

>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.google('Mountain View, CA')
>>> g.latlng
(37.3860517, -122.0838511)

>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.mapquest(['Mountain View, CA', 'Boulder, Co'], method='batch')
>>> for result in g:
... print(result.address, result.latlng)
...
('Mountain View', [37.39008, -122.08139])
('Boulder', [40.015831, -105.27927])

>>> import geocoder
>>> g = geocoder.geonames('Mountain View, CA', maxRows=5)
>>> print(len(g))
5
>>> for result in g:
... print(result.address, result.latlng)
...
