pyzipcode 0.1

Introduction

This package will allow you to get zip code information. The data used in this package is retrieved from http://www.census.gov/tiger/tms/gazetteer/zips.txt

pyzipcode uses a local sqlite database to run. You can replace it with your own other storage mechanism with a little effort.

Also, all longitude and latitude data is store assuming northern and western part of the world so there is no negative degrees…

Here is some basic usage..

>>> from pyzipcode import ZipCodeDatabase
>>> zcdb = ZipCodeDatabase()
>>> zipcode = zcdb[54115]
>>> zipcode.zip
54115
>>> zipcode.city
u'DE PERE'
>>> zipcode.state
u'WI'
>>> zipcode.longitude
88.080613
>>> zipcode.latitude
44.438778999999997

Search zip codes…

>>> from pyzipcode import ZipCodeDatabase
>>> zcdb = ZipCodeDatabase()
>>> len(zcdb.find_zip(city="Oshkosh"))
3

Get a list of zipcodes around a radius of a zipcode

>>> from pyzipcode import ZipCodeDatabase
>>> zcdb = ZipCodeDatabase()
>>> [z.zip for z in zcdb.get_zipcodes_around_radius(54901, 10)]
[54901, 54904, 54932, 54952, 54956, 54979]
