I've just started playing with geocode.py

So far I've tried the two google methods and the yahoo api.

Can someone out there shed some light on what the strengths and
weakness are of each of the different "databases" supported by
geocode.py?

I have only ever used the Google database/API. It seems good, its
accurate and so far has given an answer to every request. It has a
limit of 15,000 request over a 24 hour period. Others report that
Google-map is more up to date then the official API. Hope this helps.
