    [whereabouts](https://www.github.com/ajl2718/whereabouts) is an open source package for Python for fast and accurate geocoding within
    your own environment. It currently supports geocoding for Australia but with more countries coming soon. It uses duckDB to geocode up to 1000s of addresses per second based on an algorithm from [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.01402)""")

    This demo shows whereabouts in action, using the small version of the Australian database. This is faster at the expense of accuracy. Running in your own environment speeds things up too.
