Thanks for that comment!

Good question regarding the license. I'm not too sure about that. I'd appreciate it if someone could shed some light on it.

Regarding the version, I've only tested it on python2. I should add that in the README. Thanks!

If its based on LGPL code, then any original code need to retain it's license.

Beyond that, everything regarding licenses look good if you ask me. MIT is both compatible if you modify the LGPL code or if you link with it, so one can use either of the two licenses.

hi, I am the author of the original library, which uses the LGPL license. My reason for using LGPL was so people would be obligated to share their modifications, so I would expect this is not compatible with MIT.
As of now, for Python 3 it does not work, but it seams that fixes are not hard: https://github.com/thampiman/reverse-geocoder/issues/2
UPDATE: I've just released v1.2 which supports Python 3. For details: https://github.com/thampiman/reverse-geocoder
Sweet!
