Forecast weather for event's location if provided

[sdaveas]

We currently forecast for a specific LAT and LON. While these can be the default values, we can get the location from the google calendar event if provided by the organizer.

Event location is available at event['location'] here. From that, we need to retrieve the longitude and latitude, and provide them to send_weather_forecast(...) a few line below.

Question

How to get the coordinates of a place given the address?

tryouts

service	url	outcome
Google Geocoding	https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json	works well but costs $$$
OpenStreetMap Nominatim API	https://dash.geocod.io/	doesn't work well. Eg. Athens College, Stefanou Delta 15, Psichiko 154 52, Greece returns '33.9597677', '-83.376398'
Geocod	https://www.geocod.io	doesn't work well. Eg. Athens College, Stefanou Delta 15, Psichiko 154 52, Greece returns 42.525874, -111.76691
