Hi.  
I want to write a script which sorts on the basis of geographical  
distance.  
For some unknown reason it is not working.  
Can somebody have a look at it?  
The code is at git://gist.github.com/1068903.git

Regards.

can you try and do doc['location']. (note, this can get tricky with curl).
