Handle detailed postal codes for Great Britain

[rth]

The GB dataset for Great Britain only includes outwards codes (i.e. only first 3 letters). The full dataset is included in GB_full, but currently this fails to load,

>>> import pgeocode
>>> dist = pgeocode.GeoDistance('GB_full')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/rth/src/pgeocode/pgeocode.py", line 174, in __init__
    super(GeoDistance, self).__init__(country)
  File "/home/rth/src/pgeocode/pgeocode.py", line 49, in __init__
    .format(country))
ValueError: country=GB_FULL is not a known country code. See the README for a list of supported countries

Mostly making sure input validation works, in this case, should fix this, I think.

Hi, I was looking for a package like pgeocode. Unfortunately I need the GB_full dataset so I open a PR to address this issue: #18

Let me know if you think it is acceptable :)

Thank you for the package!

Hello @rth ,

First of all, thanks for the useful package!

I would be looking exactly for this feature and most of the work seems to have been done already. Is there any particular reason why the PR was never merged?

Thanks

I forked the package and edited it to support the full list of postal codes of the Netherlands and Great Brittain. See d32dace
