Google Places API now available as a geopy geocoder.

Google Places API provides a better, more accurate geocoding of an address, especially for non-US regions. 

Adapted from existing Google and Bing geocoder APIs. Forked from skdamico's fork which also contains the Geonames timezone geocoder & the Google Time Zone API geocoder. Requires an API key which can be obtained from the Google APIs console here:

Please note that the Google Places API is limited to 2500 requests per day.
