+[Geopy][] is a [[Python]] package providing a simple interface to
+convert place names to coordinates and perform basic ellipsoidal
+geometry.  Here's an excerpt from the [tutorial][]:
+
+>>> from geopy import geocoders, distance
+>>> g = geocoders.Google()
+>>> ny,(ny_lat,ny_lng) = g.geocode('New York, NY')  
+>>> nas,(nas_lat,nas_lng) = g.geocode('Nassau, Bahamas')  
+>>> distance.distance((ny_lat, ny_lng), (nas_lat, nas_lng)).nautical
