How to get appropriate CRS for a position specified in lat/lon coordinates?

You can calculate the UTM zone of each town center from the longitude, starting at zone 1 from -180°E to -174°E. zone=ROUND((183+longitude)/6;0) should calculate that in one step. The EPSG code is ...

Converting projected coordinates to lat/lon using Python

afalciano has the right answer but wanted to include a variant usage of pyproj. It does require you know the proj4 string and is a tiny bit faster. import pyproj p = pyproj.Proj("+proj=merc +lon_0=0 ...

Vertical Datum transformation using Pyproj

The accepted answer has a couple of flaws I'd like to address. First, the objection to the use of NAD83 is misplaced. It is true that NAD83 is a horizontal datum, but the setup in the question uses ...

Why does Pyproj fail converting lon lat alt to ECEF?

Probably because in lon, lat, alt = 49.74761271, -113.2179781, 0 a lat of -113.2179781 is outside the valid bounds of -90 to 90.
