What3Words geocoder for geopy

[This post has been moved to: http://blog.spatialbits.de/post/what3words-geocoder-for-geopy/]

What3Words is an innovative, plain simple and multilingual addressing scheme:
"w3w is a giant grid of the world made up of 57 trillion squares of 3 metres x 3 metres. Each square has been given a 3 word address comprised of 3 words from the dictionary. An example of a w3w address is gazed.across.like"
(source: What3Words) 

I recently added a What3Words geocoder to the geopy package. 
So now its possible to geocode and reverse geocode What3Words from python, as shown in this example:

Languages currently supported by the service are: DE, EN, ES, FR, PT, RU, SV, TR.

My pull request has been accepted and the what3words geocoder became part of geopy 1.5.0!
