Of course.

See my code below.

That's because they're doing it from the browser. You want to do it from
the server.

I'm doing the exact same thing. Are you stealing my Million Dollar Idea?
:-)

Here's how I do it:
def genGeocode(self):
key=" Your Google Maps API Key goes here"
url='
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q='+self.address+'&output=xml&key='+key
result2 = urlfetch.fetch(url)
dom2 = minidom.parseString(result2.content)
geo_status =int(dom2.getElementsByTagName("code")
[0].childNodes[0].data)
#check to see if google was able to find the coordinates for the
street address
if geo_status == 200:
coord = dom2.getElementsByTagName("coordinates")
[0].childNodes[0].data
split_coord = coord.rsplit(",")
longitude=(split_coord[0])
latitude=(split_coord[1])
self.geoPoint=latitude+""+longitude
self.geoHash = Geohash((latitude, longitude))
return 1
Any suggestion to improve my code are greatly appreciated.
