GeoLocator

Being worked upon by Zubin Mithra(zubin71 #sahana, #sahana-py)

A python module for a geolocator

using Google API(implemented)

Yahoo API(implemented)
GeoCommons(pending)

Input : service_name, location name Output format : JSON(easy front end parsing) Output most likely to be used in : OpenLayers So a simple controller function would be nice to access the module classes

Also add,

1. functionality for BBOX
2. provision to get results from all services
3. provision to get results in multiple formats(xml, JSON, kml)
