    Greetings! I really like the uszipcode package, and I'm wondering if it's possible to search by address / city or address / city / state to get the zip code?

    Hello. I was wondering if the sqlite database file is locked to a specific version of sqlite. I am using sqlite3 in python. Its 2.6.0. After the zipcode database file downloads, I am getting an sqlite3 exception saying that the file is not a database file.

    Hello! Love the module uszipcode so much. I know it pulls in data from various sources but I can't find what those sources are. Is there somewhere in the documentation that lays it out? Thank you for the help!

    Hello! I am trying to use uszipcode, but the download speed of the database is very slow - it has been about 30 minutes and only 3mb was downloaded. I think my internet connection is fine and I am wondering what could be the issue.

    Hi! Thanks for creating and maintaining uszipcode, it is very helpful! I'm using it for a research project and wonder what are the sources of the population density data? Just a high-level idea is good (like which year's census data) and I'd love to acknowledge your package in my paper:)

    Hi there.... I've noticed that a few zipcodes are missing lat/lng coordinates. Is there a way I could update those? e.g. 20060 -- it's in Washington DC (I think), but it's missing the coordinates.

    Hi, I was wondering if you or anyone knows what data sources the zipcode data is being pulled from? Thanks

    @rbjelinek I recommend to explore the google geocode API https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/overview

    Greetings Sanhe,
    I'm seeing roughly a 3% failure rate on population data fields for a project. I think this is similar to the question above about missing lat/long? The missing data is missing from the data source in the first place - it's not a failure of Python, in other words?

    Thanks to all involved for a fantastic library.

    Greetings all,
    Was using the library perfect and now just started getting:

    @federicocetraro maybe put some code about how to produce the error?
    @Abraxas3d yes, the full database has 42300 zipcode, part of them are non-standard zipcode which doesn't have lat lng sadly

    Trying to import Zipcode from uszipcode is failing.

    Here is my code
    !pip install uszipcode
    from uszipcode import Zipcode

    Fails with the folowing error on google colab, where the same code was working before Christmas 2021:

    ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)

    <ipython-input-2-5dded23d0ed2> in <module>()
    1 get_ipython().system('pip install uszipcode')
    ----> 2 from uszipcode import Zipcode

    ImportError: cannot import name 'Zipcode' from 'uszipcode' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/uszipcode/init.py)

    from uszipcode import SearchEngine, SimpleZipcode, ComprehensiveZipcode
    sr = SearchEngine()
    z = sr.by_city_and_state(city="New York", state="New York")
    income = z.median_household_income
    print(income)

    my code fails and says that "AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'median_household_income'". What should I change?

    @MacHu-GWU
    @rachelchen22 you should use comprehensive Zipcode database instead of the simple one
    See document here https://uszipcode.readthedocs.io/01-Usage-Example/index.html
    @pydesi I guess u are using Jupiter notebook, you should use %pip install uszipcode to install
