In these articles, we are going to write python scripts to search a country from a given state or city name and bind it with the GUI application. We will be using the GeoPy module. GeoPy modules make it easier to locate the coordinates of addresses, cities, countries, landmarks, and Zipcode.
Before starting we need to install the GeoPy module, so let’s run to this command on your terminal.
pip install geopy
Approach:
- Import module
- Use Nominatim API to access the corresponding to set of coordinates
- geocode() to get the location of a given place
The GUI would look like below:
Note: Nominatim uses OpenStreetMap data to find locations on Earth by name and address (geocoding).
Below is the Implementation:
Python3
from geopy.geocoders import Nominatimgeolocator = Nominatim(user_agent = "geoapiExercises")location = geolocator.geocode("Delhi")print("Country Name: ", location) |
Output:
Country Name: Delhi, Kotwali Tehsil, Central Delhi, Delhi, 110006, India
Application for Searching Country from given city/state with Tkinter: This Script implements the above Implementation into a GUI.
Python3
# importing the modulesfrom geopy.geocoders import Nominatimfrom tkinter import *from tkinter import messagebox def getinfo(): geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent = "geoapiExercises") place = e.get() place_res.set(place) location = geolocator.geocode(place) res.set(location)# object of tkinter# and background set for light greymaster = Tk()master.configure(bg = 'light grey')# variable Classes in tkinterplace_res = StringVar();res = StringVar();# creating label for each information# name using widget Label Label(master, text = "Enter place :" , bg = "light grey").grid(row = 0, sticky = W)Label(master, text = "Place :" , bg = "light grey").grid(row = 1, sticky = W)Label(master, text = "Country Address :" , bg = "light grey").grid(row = 2, sticky = W)# creating label for class variable# name using widget EntryLabel(master, text = "", textvariable = place_res, bg = "light grey").grid(row = 1, column = 1, sticky = W)Label(master, text = "", textvariable = res, bg = "light grey").grid(row = 2, column = 1, sticky = W)e = Entry(master)e.grid(row = 0, column = 1)# creating a button using the widget # Button that will call the submit function b = Button(master, text = "Show", command = getinfo )b.grid(row = 0, column = 2, columnspan = 2, rowspan = 2, padx = 5, pady = 5)mainloop() |
Output:
