    This document provides code to prompt a user for longitude and latitude input and save that input as a KML point file. It notes that the user input will be read as a string by Python and reminds developers to typically convert such inputs to numbers if using them mathematically. The code prompts for longitude and latitude, creates a KML file object, adds a new point with the user coordinates, and saves the file.

    Source: www.arditsulce.com

    import simplekml
    longitude=input("Enter longitude: ")
    latitude=input("Enter longitude: ")
    kml=simplekml.Kml()
    kml.newpoint(name="Sample",coords=[(longitude,latitude)])
    kml.save("C:\\out\\Points.kml")

    Remember that when the user enters something, be it a number or a string, Python always reads the input as a string.
    Notice that I didn’t have to convert the user input string into a float here. That’s because the newpoint method
    accepts both numbers and strings. However, typically you should convert the user input into a float or integer if you’re
    making mathematical operations with that input.
