Import Airports in Python

Question

Is there a package available with a list of all airports around the world? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Thank you. I am very new to coding and loving it so far. If you were going to extract data from that very useful source. would you simply copy and past the raw information into a list of your text? Or, link the website to ensure its constantly updated information? (assuming that possible)

Answer 2

Depends on your situation
If you're not sure about the internet, you can make a local copy of that (if allowed), and this is faster
If you want the data to be consistent and up to date use the provided data source.
Or use both, renew your local copy every once in a while, this way the data keep updated and your access to it are fast. The downside is whenever the data source got an update your program will keep using the previous one until re new schdule
