Unable to extract countries/cities name from text file using geograpy

Question

I am trying to extract countries/cities name from text file using geograpy (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/geograpy/0.3.7), but It's returning a empty list. My code is:

import geograpy
text = 'I am from Delhi'
places = geograpy.get_place_context(text=text)

print places.cities

Output:

[]

Why it is not extracting cities name?? Is there any way I can resolve it??

What is the value of `url` that you are passing into get_place_context()? — JGut, Feb 08 '17 at 09:45
I think you have to execute `places = geograpy.get_place_context(url=text)` — , Feb 08 '17 at 09:51

I don't know about geograpy but, you could try geotext

from geotext import GeoText
sentence = "I am from Delhi"
places = GeoText(sentence)
print places.cities

['Delhi']

But it fails to recognize cities typed with lower case. – Nikolay Frick Jun 12 '20 at 03:10
