Description : Python library for calculating geographical distance with high accuracy
Vincenty is a Python library that calculates the geographical distance between
two points with extreme accuracy, utilizing Vincenty's formula. Based on the
WGS 84 reference ellipsoid, this method is precise to within 1 mm or better.
Widely employed in geographic information systems (GIS), it offers superior
accuracy compared to great-circle distance calculations that assume a
spherical Earth. The library supports calculations in both kilometers and
miles.
This library is a dependancy of Home Assistant, the Python smart home platform.
I plan to maintain it as part of the Home Assistant team.
