show the way using actual routes in python

To show the way using actual routes in Python, you can use a routing API such as Google Maps Directions API or MapQuest Directions API. These APIs allow you to calculate the distance and duration of a route between two or more points and provide step-by-step directions.

Here is an example using Google Maps Directions API:

main.py
import requests
import json

# Replace with your own Google Maps API key
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

# Specify starting and ending locations
start = "Times Square, New York"
end = "Central Park, New York"

# Make request to Google Maps Directions API
response = requests.get(
    f"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin={start}&destination={end}&key={API_KEY}"
)

# Parse response JSON data
data = json.loads(response.text)

# Extract relevant information
routes = data["routes"]
distance = routes[0]["legs"][0]["distance"]["text"]
duration = routes[0]["legs"][0]["duration"]["text"]
steps = routes[0]["legs"][0]["steps"]

# Print results
print(f"Distance: {distance}")
print(f"Duration: {duration}")
print("Steps:")
for step in steps:
    print(f"- {step['html_instructions']}")
800 chars
31 lines

This code will output the distance, duration, and step-by-step directions for the route between Times Square and Central Park in New York using the Google Maps Directions API.
