You may also want to look at the Yahoo! maps API, which will also give you geocoding with a much nicer interface: http://www.yahooapis.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html unless you specifically need to use the TeleAtlas data or the API licensing is incompatible with the task at hand, I'd recommend using that instead. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
