Hello,
I solve your probleme in changing the output format into json, then I
convert the coordinates into Float.
def get_lat_long(location):
key = ''
output = "json"
location = urllib.quote_plus(location)
request = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=%s&output=%s"; %
(location, output)
data = urllib.urlopen(request).read()
dlist = simplejson.loads(data)
lat = float(dlist['Placemark'][0]['Point']['coordinates'][0])
lon = float(dlist['Placemark'][0]['Point']['coordinates'][1])
if dlist['Staut']['code'] == 200:
return (lat,lon)
I've tested and it works. Good luck
