Package: iceaddr
iceaddrLook up Icelandic street addresses, postcodes and placenamesiceaddris a pure Python >=3.8 package to look up information about Icelandic streets, addresses, placenames,
landmarks, locations and postcodes. The underlying data is contained in a local SQLite database assembled
from the following sources:Staðfangaskrá, the official Icelandic address registry maintained byRegisters Iceland(Þjóðskra,CC-BY)IS 50V Örnefnifrom theNational Land Survey of Iceland(Landmælingar Íslands)The postcode table provided byPostur.is, with supplementary data fromIcelandic WikipediaSince no networking takes place, lookups are very fast and can be performed offline. The package is
useful for geocoding and reverse geocoding of Icelandic addresses and placenames, as well as for
validating addresses and postcodes. No external dependencies are required.InstallationThe latest version oficeaddris available viaPyPI.pipinstalliceaddrExamplesLook up address with postcode>>>fromiceaddrimporticeaddr_lookup>>>a=iceaddr_lookup('Austurstræti',number=14,postcode=101)>>>pprint(a)[{'bokst':'','byggd':1,'heiti_nf':'Austurstræti','heiti_tgf':'Austurstræti','hnitnum':10083839,'husnr':14,'landnr':100852,'lat_wgs84':64.147529217656,'long_wgs84':-21.9389394651385,'postnr':101,'serheiti':'','stadur_nf':'Reykjavík','stadur_tgf':'Reykjavík','svaedi_nf':'Höfuðborgarsvæðið','svaedi_tgf':'Höfuðborgarsvæðinu','svfnr':0,'tegund':'Þéttbýli','vidsk':''}]Look up address with placename>>>fromiceaddrimporticeaddr_lookup>>>a=iceaddr_lookup('Öldugötu',number=4,placename='Reykjavík')>>>pprint(a)[{'bokst':'','byggd':1,'heiti_nf':'Öldugata','heiti_tgf':'Öldugötu','hnitnum':10017023,'husnr':4,'landnr':100570,'lat_wgs84':64.1484874806941,'long_wgs84':-21.9452072913341,'postnr':101,'serheiti':'','stadur_nf':'Reykjavík','stadur_tgf':'Reykjavík','svaedi_nf':'Höfuðborgarsvæðið','svaedi_tgf':'Höfuðborgarsvæðinu','svfnr':0,'tegund':'Þéttbýli','vidsk':''}]Street and place names can be provided in either nominative (nf.) or dative (þgf.) case (e.g. both
'Öldugata' and 'Öldugötu' will work, as will both 'Selfoss' and 'Selfossi').Please note thaticeaddr_lookup()returns a list of zero or more addresses matching the criterion.>>>fromiceaddrimporticeaddr_lookup>>>iceaddr_lookup('Dúfnahólar',number=10)[]>>>res=iceaddr_lookup('Öldugata',number=9)>>>[(a['postnr'],a['stadur_nf'])forainres][(101,'Reykjavík'),(220,'Hafnarfjörður'),(621,'Dalvík')]For natural search string queries, the module providesiceaddr_suggest():>>>fromiceaddrimporticeaddr_suggest>>>a=iceaddr_suggest('Öldugata 4, Rey')>>>[n['stadur_tgf']fornina]['Reykjavík','Reyðarfirði']>>>a=iceaddr_suggest('Öldugö',limit=200)>>>len(a)151The default limit on results from both functions is 50.Find closest addressGiven a set of WGS84 coordinates, thenearest_addr()function returns a list of the nearest addresses

Then, after (optionally) creating a virtual environment, run the following command
from the repository root to install dependencies:pipinstall".[dev]"Then run the following command to build the database:bashbuild.shThis creates an SQLite3 database in the repo root namediceaddr.db. Move this file tosrc/iceaddr/and you can now install your own freshly built version of the package:pipinstall.Version History0.5.7: Updated address and placename data.
