I use Python 3 (I also have Python 2 installed) and I want to extract countries or cities from a short text.
For example, text = "I live in Spain"
or text = "United States (New York), United Kingdom (London)"
.
The answer for countries:
I tried to install geography
but I am unable to run pip install geography
. I get this error:
Collecting geography Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement geography (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for geography
It looks like geography
only works with Python 2.
I also have geopandas
, but I don't know how to extract the required info from text using geopandas.
you could use pycountry for your task (it also works with python 3):
pip install pycountry
import pycountry
text = "United States (New York), United Kingdom (London)"
for country in pycountry.countries:
if country.name in text:
print(country.name)
