doko 0.1.0

Installing

$ pip install doko

Enabling Core Location

On OS X 10.6 (Mountain Lion) or later, you can enable Core Location in System Preferences, in the “Security” or “Security & Privacy” section.

Using on the command-line

Using Core Services alone, you can just run the doko command:

$ doko
35.674851 139.701419

However, it relies on using wifi, and being enabled. If you won’t have a wifi connection, you may see this:

$ doko
location could not be found -- is wifi enabled?

In this case, you can back off to a much more approximate service based on your external IP with the --approx command:

$ doko --approx
35.674 139.701

This may return the location for the center of the nearest city. To debug the location returned, the --show option will open a Google Maps browser window displaying the coordinates on a map.

Using as a module

> import doko
> doko.location()
Location(latitude=35.674851, longitude=139.701419)
> doko.geobytes_location()  # approximate method
Location(latitude=35.674, longitude=139.701)
