  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.
