Hello,
I wonder if there is possibility to convert a map to a dictionary in python.
My concern is getting the number of houses for specific area to return
the coordination of the houses in this area.
What sort of data do you expect to store in the dictionary?
The only thing I can think of is "address" and "coordinates". As you say below,
there is code to convert an address to its latitude and longitude, so you can
map address to coordinates:
d = {}
for address in list_of_addresses:
coord = get_coordinates_from_address(address) # whatever that function is
d[address] = coord
But I don't think this is useful. What do you intend to do with the addresses,
and why do you think a dictionary is where you want to store them?
I can see that there are some useful codes to convert an address to its
latitude and longitude (py-googlemaps.sourceforge.net) But I want to
make a small network design on a real area, so I am looking for
a way to extract the available houses for this area using a google map
or something! Is this possible?
This isn't really a Python question. The answer depends on the features that
Google provides via their Maps API. See here to get started:
