Python Module for Distance between UK postcodes

I need to calculate distances between UK postcodes. I don't want to use a web api. Does a python module/ library exist for this? Or do I have to put together something of my own using data from the OrdnanceSurvey?

Thanks,

  • 1/You can use any rest geolocation api eg google maps, that would provide you accurate distance based on the pincodes.

    2/ You can use any updated database which has post codes and latitude/longitude information, and use that information to calculate distance between the two points.
