Perl has a nice library, Geo-StreetAddress, that does some parsing and normalization. I looked at porting it to Python, but it has some crazy regex code in it. You should be able to call it from Django. The page below has some other options (like scraping the US Postal Service website). http://search.cpan.org/~sderle/Geo-StreetAddress-US-0.99/US.pm Don --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
