Great Distance
Distance between each pair of points is returned in meters.
from pygc import great_distance
Distance and angle between two points
great_distance(start_latitude=30, start_longitude=-74, end_latitude=40, end_longitude=-74)
{'azimuth': 0.0, 'distance': array(1109415.6324018822), 'reverse_azimuth': 180.0}

There are a number of formulae that are available to calculate accurate geodetic positions, azimuths and distances on the ellipsoid.
Vincenty's formulae (Vincenty, 1975) may be used for lines ranging from a few cm to nearly 20,000 km, with millimetre accuracy. The formulae have been extensively tested for the Australian region, by comparison with results from other formulae (Rainsford, 1955 & Sodano, 1965).
