Problem retrieving region in US with geograpy3

Question

Using geograpy3 (https://pypi.org/project/geograpy3/):

> import geograpy
> text = "Welcome to beautiful Seattle"
> p = geograpy.get_geoPlace_context(text=text)
> p.cities
['Seattle']
> p.countries
['United States']
> p.regions
[]

Is there a package or dataset I need to download?

Answer 1

I am answering as a committer of geograpy3. There is a new locator interface intended for improvements in disambiguation and location. It is not fully integrated yet with the Natural Language Processing part yet - issues and pull requests are welcome ...

        '''
        examples=['Seattle']
        for example in examples:
            city=geograpy.locateCity(example,debug=False)
            print(city)

Result:

Seattle (US-WA(Washington) - US(United States))
