This is a python implementation of the geodesic routines in GeographicLib.
Although it is maintained in conjunction with the larger C++ library, this python package can be used independently.
The full Geographic package can be downloaded from sourceforge. However the python implementation is available as a stand-alone package. To install this, run
pip install geographiclib
Alternatively downloaded the package directly from Python Package Index and install it with
tar xpfz geographiclib-1.46.tar.gz
cd geographiclib-1.46
python setup.py install
It’s a good idea to run the unit tests to verify that the installation worked OK by running
python -m unittest geographiclib.test.test_geodesic
