This project provides tools to play with geographical data. It also works with non-geographical data, except for map visualizations :).

There are embedded data sources in the project, but you can easily play with your own data in addition to the available ones. After data loading, you can:

• perform various types of queries (find this key, or find keys with this property)
• make fuzzy searches based on string distance (find things roughly named like this)
• make phonetic searches (find things sounding like this)
• make geographical searches (find things next to this place)
• get results on a map, or on a graph, or export it as csv data, or as a Python object

This is entirely written in Python. The core part is a Python package, but there is a command line tool as well! Get it with easy_install, then you can see where are airports with international in their name:

$ GeoBase --fuzzy international --map

Do not hesitate to open issues for missing:
