Get lat/lng programmatically from a mouse click event

[giswqs]

Is it possible to get the lat/lng programmatically from a mouse click event on the map? The lat/lng is needed for subsequent computation. Thanks.

folium is kind of a one way street from Python to Javascript. So in general, no there's no way to get data made from interacting with the map back to Python. Some ideas:

• You could have to brew something on your own.
• You could use the Draw plugin to export a geojson file and load that back into Python.
• You could take a look at https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipyleaflet which should provide more interactivity, though I don't know if they have your use case.

I'm closing this because we're not planning on bringing this functionality to folium.
