  Description     : Reverse geocode the given latitude / longitude

Reverse Geocode takes a latitude / longitude coordinate and returns the
nearest known country, state, and city. This can be useful when you need to
reverse geocode a large number of coordinates so a web API is not practical.

The geocoded locations are from geonames. This data is then structured in to a
k-d tree for efficiently finding the nearest neighbour.

This is a dependency for python-geocaching-api, which is a depencency for
home-assistant.

I propose to bring this package under the home-assistant team maintenance. Will
seek sponsorhip there first.
