Dictionary of Geolocations

Question

I have written a code in order to get a dictionary which shows me museum as key and geolocation information as values. The museum is always taken from a list of museums (df2). I get almost the result I want. However, unfortunately, the returned dictionary always holds the same coordinates. Hence, the values are not updated respective to the key .

Would love to get some help with that!

def geocode(museum):
    location = geolocator.geocode(museum, exactly_one = False)
    return location

d = {}
for museum in df2:
    if geocode(museum) is False:
        d[museum] = 'Nothing found'
    else: 
        d[museum] = [location[0].latitude],[location[0].longitude], [len(location)]

Answer 1

You should store the return of the geocode function and then use it to assign it, i.e. location should be updated based on your call to geocode.

Try modifying when you build your dictionary as follows:

for museum in df2:
    loc = geocode(museum)
    if loc is None:
        d[museum] = 'Nothing found'
    else: 
        d[museum] = [loc[0].latitude],[loc[0].longitude], [len(loc)]
