true. That's not truly a regex error but maybe a misreading of the docs
about geocoding.
Coords are returned as longitude,latitude by google services.
Also, V2 is used.
Maybe it's time to update the function to use V3 and address this issue....
regex_geocode = \
re.compile(r
"""<geometry>[\W]*?<location>[\W]*?<lat>(?P<la>[^<]*)</lat>[\W]*?<lng>(?P<lo>[^<]*)</lng>[\W]*?</location>"""
)
def geocode(address):
try:
a = urllib.quote(address)
txt = fetch(
'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=%s'
% a)
item = regex_geocode.search(txt)
(la, lo) = (float(item.group('la')), float(item.group('lo')))
return (la, lo)
except:
return (0.0, 0.0)
Can you try that ? if it works we could send this patch for inclusion in
trunk
