A Python version of Carmen, a library for geolocating tweets.
Given a tweet, Carmen will return Location objects that represent a
physical location.
Carmen uses both coordinates and other information in a tweet to make
geolocation decisions.
It's not perfect, but this greatly increases the number of geolocated
tweets over what Twitter provides.
To install, simply run:
$ python setup.py install
To run the Carmen frontend, see:
$ python -m carmen.cli --help
