[Py-googlemaps-general] "locality" error for malformed address, but calling google-maps directly is okay

[Alan R. <ala...@gm...>]

Hi,

I would like googlemaps to return a zipcode for addresses that are  
close but not exactly correct (from google's point of view).
Is this possible?
I am using "googlemaps 1.0.2" with python 2.7, and get "locality"  
errors when looking up certain addresses to determine the zipcode.
But if I put the same address into "Google maps" directly, it does  
return the zipcode.
I believe that the problem is because the address is not exactly  
correct.
Is there a way to get "googlemaps 1.0.2" to handle these types of  
addresses.
For example, the following address is correct for usps.com, but for  
not for google-maps:
	15071 Keswick St. Van Nuys CA
returns an error in "googlemaps 1.0.2", but in "Google maps" it  
returns a different address
	15071 Keswick St
	Los Angeles, CA 91405

Or
	1325 West Venice Blvd - Los Angeles CA
returns an error in "googlemaps 1.0.2", but in "Google maps" it returns
	1325 Venice Blvd
	Los Angeles, CA 90291

thanks,
alan
