Usage: pip3 install --user opensextant-1.6.2.tar.gz
Major Calls:

• Extract geographic and other named entities using Xponents REST:

    client = opensextant.xlayer.XlayerClient( url )
    tags = client.process( ... text ... )

• Extract just coordinates from text using XCoord:

  extractor = opensextant.extractors.xcoord.XCoord()
  coordinates = extractor.extract( text )

• EXPERIMENTAL - Extract and summarize geographic entities primarily when postal addresses, nationalities, etc are of interest and present in data; use Geotagger as below. This is a higher level wrapper around the Xponents API client.

    extractor = opensextant.xlayer.Geotagger( args )
    tags = extractor.summarize( ... text... )
