gmoc.py expects GeoLocation(longitude, latitude)

[chaos@bbn.com]

The GeoLocation() function in gmoc.py expects to be invoked as:

GeoLocation(longitude, latitude)

e.g.

GeoLocation(-71.147504, 42.389741)

Users may expect GeoLocation(latitude, longitude). Something should warn them that they are getting it wrong, since this could easily go unnoticed for a long time and lead to aggregates being mapped in radically incorrect places.

I would have assumed that lat/long was the convention if not specified. Since Kevin assumed it was long/lat, i'm going to suggest that there is no convention, and that the correct thing to do is to force the caller to name the args explicitly, e.g.

GeoLocation(latitude = whatever, longitude = whatever-else)
