python中存储坐标,用于存储和查询地理坐标的Python模块

Is there a Python module where I can create objects with a geographical location coordinate (latitude and longitude), and query all the objects for ones which are within a 5km distance (i.e. radius) of a given coordinate?

I've been trying to store the latitude and longitude as keys in dictionaries (as they're indexed by key) and use some distance finding algorithms to query them. But this feels like a horrible hack.

Essentially something like PostGIS for PostgreSQL, but all within my Python app's memory.

Yes, try geopy.

import geopy

import geopy.distance

pt1 = geopy.Point(48.853, 2.349)

pt2 = geopy.Point(52.516, 13.378)

dist = geopy.distance.distance(pt1, pt2).km

# 878.25

afterwards you can query your lists of points:

[pt for pt in points if geopy.distance.distance(orig, pt).km < 5.]
