Recalculating GeoHash library

• The first step to run this project will be to unzip the NationalFile.tar and get the information file of the provinces and states.

cd pyscript
python3 textReader.py NationalFile_StateProvinceDecimalLatLong.txt

• To run this project, first check if there is a folder called dics inside your project file. If not, please run the textReader.py first to get it. This folder will contains all the hierarchy dictionaries this project will use to do the state:country search. If you run this function, it will take a while so please give it some patience.
• If you want to test if the textReader.py is totally functional, try to change the text file it reads from NationalFile_StateProvinceDecimalLatLong.txt to partial.txt.
