DESCRIPTION DecimalDegrees module provides functions to convert between degrees/minutes/seconds and decimal degrees. Original source distribution: http://mateusz.loskot.net/software/gis/pydecimaldegrees/ Inspired by Walter Mankowski's Geo::Coordinates::DecimalDegrees module for Perl, originally located in CPAN Archives: http://search.cpan.org/~waltman/Geo-Coordinates-DecimalDegrees-0.05/ doctest examples are based following coordinates: DMS: 121 8' 6" DM: 121 8.1' DD: 121.135 To run doctest units just execut this module script as follows (-v instructs Python to run script in verbose mode): $ python decimaldegrees.py [-v] """ import decimal as libdecimal from decimal import Decimal as D __revision__ = '$Revision: 1.1 $' def decimal2dms(decimal_degrees): """ Converts a floating point number of degrees to the equivalent number of degrees, minutes, and seconds, which are returned as a 3-element tuple of decimals.
