Python: OpenStreetMap API - add Longitudes and Latitudes by using Geopy module

In this Python video tutorial I demonstrate how to correctly generate Longitude and Latitude of an any spatial object that is defined by it's address features in Pandas (Python module) dataframe by using OpenStreetMap API that is very friendly with Python environment and add those Longitudes and Latitudes to an existing data table.

Of course, you will see how to read a dataframe from .CSV Excel file directly to Python.

In this demonstration I am using PANDAS module and Jupyter Notebook tool but it will work with any code editor, such Atom or Brackets.

The Content of video tutorial is:
0:02 - The Idea of video tutorial
0:32 - 1st step: Import modules and read .csv datafile
2:39 - 2nd step: Import geopy module
3:16 - 3rd step: Set a connection to OpenStreetMap (Nominatim)
5:13 - 4th step: Set a full address field to a dataframe
7:51 - 5th step: Set values to Longitudes and Latitudes

This tutorial good for geographic specialist or GIS developers.

Good to know relative information:
- Get PIP system variable to the coommand line (https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py)
- Official PANDAS website where you can learn and download it: http://pandas.pydata.org/
- Nominatim: is a tool to search OSM data by name and address and to generate synthetic addresses of OSM points (reverse geocoding). Nominatim is also used as one of the sources for the search box on the OpenStreetMap home page. (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim)

1. Python tutorial: Import 3rd party module package to Python (example with glob2 module) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSp3aLKFKWY
2. Python tutorial: read text file (2 simple methods) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nc5Sju8FVU
3. Build Python Graphic User Interface (GUI): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddoPYppcppc

You can do almost everything by using Google Maps API (as I demonstrated here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTFn9gWEtPA&feature=youtu.be) and according to my tests if you need to get only latitudes and longitudes Google Maps API wins against OpenStreetMap API.
