I use Python 3 (I also have Python 2 installed) and I want to extract countries or cities from a short text.
For example, text = "I live in Spain" or text = "United States (New York), United Kingdom (London)".

The answer for countries:

1. Spain


2. [United States, United Kingdom]

I tried to install geography but I am unable to run pip install geography. I get this error:

Collecting geography Could not find a version that satisfies the
requirement geography (from versions: ) No matching distribution found
for geography

It looks like geography only works with Python 2.

I also have geopandas, but I don't know how to extract the required info from text using geopandas.

python python-3.x nltk geography

  geography is supposed to support Python 3, if you have errors report them at the open github issue. That's how packages get fixed. It helps if you specify what OS, OS version, Python version, and python distribution and version (e.g. anaconda? brew? etc.) you're using, also what version of pip.

pip install pycountry

import pycountry
text = "United States (New York), United Kingdom (London)"
for country in pycountry.countries:
 if country.name in text:
 print(country.name)

  Cool. But it will not work with abbreviations, right? Do you know something additional for recognizing abbreviations and passing them to country names?

  every country object has the attributes alpha_2 and alpha_3 which are abbreviations of the country. (E.g: Germany.alpha_2 = DE, Germany.alpha_3 = DEU)
