[Tutor] An interesting case... of east vs. west

[John]

I will work with this further, and report back once I find Alan's method...
but for now, this seems to work:

for i in range(0,20):
 y=d[i][2].split('\xb0')
 x=d[i][3].split('\xb0')
 ydeg,ymin=int(y[0].rstrip()),float(y[1].strip('\' N'))
 xdeg,xmin=int(x[0].rstrip()),float(x[1].rstrip("\' E").rstrip("\' W"))
 if re.search("W",x[1]): xdeg=-1*xdeg
 if re.search("S",y[1]): ydeg=-1*ydeg
 declat=abs(ydeg)+ymin/60
 declon=abs(xdeg)+xmin/60
 if ydeg < 0: declat=declat*-1
 if xdeg < 0: declon=declon*-1
