Geohash Module installed but import error

Question

I am using ipython Jupyter notebook in Windows 10. I have installed Geohash using pip install geohash in cmd. When I try to use geohash( import geohash) following error comes:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-840910eb012f> in <module>()
----> 1 import geohash

ImportError: No module named 'geohash'

Again check whether geohash installed or not then following message came while I try to reinstall:

C:\Users\Himal Acharya>pip install geohash
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): geohash in c:\users\himal acharya\anaconda3\lib\site-packages
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): docutils>=0.3 in c:\users\himal acharya\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (from geohash)

Again I uninstall geohash. I manually install geohash from github but same problem occur : import error

I checked in site-package ..it shows..but dnot have idea how to put that module in sys.path in windows — Himal Acharya, Apr 15 '16 at 05:11
Is that particular `site-packages` directory in sys.path? It's possible that the notebook is running in another environment, so it sees a different site-packages. — Thomas K, Apr 15 '16 at 20:23

pip install python-geohash

This should fix it.

it mix things, and make Geohash import python-geohash code. it become a nightmare to know which code is executed in your project. I just lost 2 days trying to understand why Geohash.decode were responding strings in a project and numbers in another one. So if you do that, please uninstall Geohash before ! – JR Utily Aug 02 '19 at 08:57

Found another way and it works like charm.

from gd-inm source: https://github.com/vinsci/geohash/issues/4

rename the package name to be geohash rather than Geohash
change init.py to import from .geohash (with a dot in front of the module name) rather than from geohash

I had the same issue - if you rename the package name to be geohash rather than Geohash and then change init.py to import from .geohash (with a dot in front of the module name) rather than from geohash, the package should work for Python 3.5.2.

there is now geohash2 that does exatcly that so you don't have to touch the code — JR Utily, Aug 02 '19 at 08:54

3

pip uninstall Geohash
pip install geohash2

it will install https://github.com/DBarthe/geohash version which is exactly the same as vinsci one but compliant with Python 3 import syntax (DBarthe did what @PoonLany explained in its answer)

I had the same problem with python3 which makes me use "pygeohash" instead of geohash.

Instalation

pip install pygeohash

usage

import pygeohash as pgh

pgh.encode(42.6, -5.6)
# >>> 'ezs42e44yx96'

pgh.encode(42.6, -5.6, precision=5)
# >>> 'ezs42'

pgh.decode('ezs42')
# >>> ('42.6', '-5.6')

pgh.geohash_approximate_distance('bcd3u', 'bc83n')
# >>> 625441
