pyplacefinder

Want to know what's awesome?

Yahoo! PlaceFinder allows 50k free hits to their Geocode API each day - That's 20 times more than Google's!

This simple module will allow you to query any location data as per their API (http://developer.yahoo.com/geo/placefinder/guide/requests.html), and read the data out as a dict.

Easy as bro.
