When parsing coordinates from various geocache web pages, the Point class does not correctly parse coordinate strings when the latitude and longitude are separated by <space><comma><space>. For example, the Geocache Description for GC6V1Y8 contains the string "N 44° 25.845 , W 72° 02.485" which Point parses as "N 72° 0.000, E 2° 29.100". This simple program shows the error.
from pycaching.geo import Point
print(Point("N 44° 25.845, W 72° 02.485"))
print(Point("N 44° 25.845 , W 72° 02.485"))
It might be as simple as changing geo.py line 69 from:
m = re.match(r"\s*(-?\s*\d+)\D+(\d+[\.,]\d+)\D?\s*(-?\s*\d+)\D+(\d+[\.,]\d+)", coords)
to:
m = re.match(r"\s*(-?\s*\d+)\D+(\d+[\.,]\d+)\D+(-?\s*\d+)\D+(\d+[\.,]\d+)", coords)
(replace "\D?\s*" with "\D+"), but I don't know what all the supported input formats are to evaluate that change.
