Which library to use: reverse-geocoder or reverse_geocode? #52

Hi, thanks for developing this library, I consider using it for pyaerocom, a climate model evaluation software for automatically assigning countries to observation site location coordinates.

Reading through your README I have one question: the last updates here are more than 4 years ago, thus, I wonder if there is plans to maintain (and possibly further develop) this project into the future? Asking also because, the library reverse_geocode on which you base your work, as I understand from the README, has been updated in 2018.

I wonder if you are coordinating your efforts together with R. Penman or whether these can be considered 2 independent libraries?

In the latter case, I wonder which one to use. Also a release via conda-forge would be appreciated. As I can see here, the version from R. Penman is available via conda.

I would appreciate any comments. Would be good maybe also to clarify in the README? Thanks!

Hi, Since this seems to be a dead project, I suggest you'd use the other one.

However, (in case you want this one anyway) you can use this fork I've made that publishes Wheels for Linux and Mac.
