Using Python shell to lookup lat/long of my home address: >>> import xmlrpclib >>> server_url = 'http://rpc.geocoder.us/service/xmlrpc' >>> server = xmlrpclib.Server(server_url) >>> result = server.geocode("3745 SE Harrison St., Portland, OR 97214") >>> result [{'city': 'Portland', 'prefix': 'SE', 'suffix': '', 'zip': 97214, 'number': 3745, 'long': -122.624652, 'state': 'OR', 'street': 'Harrison', 'lat': 45.508740000000003, 'type': 'St'}]
Try it, if you've got a US address you want to check (then maybe enter the coords in Google Earth to see where that is). The server is actually written in Perl.
