Hello!

Today I a little bit changed text ini file to:

[Unit]
Description=GeoStat
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/root/geostat/venv/bin/python geoparser.py
User=root
WorkingDirectory=/root/geostat
Restart=always
RestartSec=2

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And have a new error

root@NC-V3:~# systemctl start geostat.service
root@NC-V3:~# systemctl status geostat.service
● geostat.service - GeoStat

SO!

I found solution for this problem! https://github.com/vinsci/geohash/issues/4#issuecomment-292118721 I had the same issue - if you rename the package name to be geohash rather than Geohash and then change __init__.py to import from .geohash (with a dot in front of the module name) rather than from geohash, the package should work for Python 3.5.2.

But I changed file nano /root/geostat/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/Geohash/__init__.py to from Geohash import decode_exactly, decode, encode , was geohash

I think will be better if you change file configuration

root@NC-V3:~/geostat# systemctl status geostat.service
● geostat.service - GeoStat

Yep, the Geohash module was changed and you find the right way to fix it. I'm working on a new updated version of this script, that will fix the all existing issues and also will have logging and some extra features, please hold on, it'll be available soon.
