I’m using python and I need to map locations like ‘Bloomington, IN’ to GPS coordinates so I can measure distances between them. What Geocoding libraries/APIs do you recommend? Solutions in other languages are also welcome.

The Google Maps API supports geocoding, and the Python Cookbook has a simple example of accessing it from Python (although the recipe doesn’t use the API directly, just simple maps.google.com URLs).
