I'm new to python and doing a work project that involves juggling a lot (5-10k) of "places" (polygons representing regions) in google earth. As such, I wanted to run a list compare between the places I have in google earth against a txt file list of places I should have. The only problem is that I cannot seem to find a way to copy paste or otherwise capture the name text of the google earth places. Copying with control c or right click copy copies them as a KMZ file, or when pasted into a text editor gives the full source from their "properties" tab. I'm fairly confident in manipulating and comparing the lists once I have the data in that format, but could really use some help in attaining it as such.
