The parallel of this issue with the Go client: [Adding array of geo gives "Input for predicate example.Loc of type scalar is uid" · Issue #11 · dgraph-io/dgo · GitHub](https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgo/issues/11), which I have reproduced in the Python client.
I created an index:
```auto
location_olac: [geo] @index(geo) .
```
and now I’m trying to add something like
```auto
'location_olac': [
{
'type': 'Point',
'coordinates': [47.96056, -3.83472]
},
{
'type': 'Point',
'coordinates': [27.23453, -115.83472]
},
]
```
I’m getting `Input for predicate location_olac of type scalar is uid`. If I take out one of the points (such that this is not a list), it works.

This pending PR dgraph-io/dgraph#2485 mentioned in dgraph-io/dgo#11 should address this issue.

The pull request dgraph-io/dgraph#2485 has been merged. This issue is fixed as of [Correctly handle a list of type geo in json (#2482) (#2485) · dgraph-io/dgraph@b1eb212 · GitHub](https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/commit/b1eb212b6956e1d6c987298aa564ee5d9b81e53d).
```python
import json
import pydgraph
client_stub = pydgraph.DgraphClientStub('localhost:9080')
client = pydgraph.DgraphClient(client_stub)
# Drop all data
op = pydgraph.Operation(drop_all=True)
client.alter(op)
# Set schema with geo index
schema = "location_olac: [geo] @index(geo) ."
op = pydgraph.Operation(schema=schema)
client.alter(op)
# Write list of points
txn = client.txn()
p = {
'location_olac': [
{
'type': 'Point',
'coordinates': [47.96056, -3.83472]
},
{
'type': 'Point',
'coordinates': [27.23453, -115.83472]
},
]
}
assigned = txn.mutate(set_obj=p)
txn.commit()
# Query results
res = client.query('''{
points(func: has(location_olac)) {
expand(_all_)
}
}''')
print json.loads(res.json)['points']
```
Results:
```nohighlight
[{u'location_olac': [{u'type': u'Point', u'coordinates': [27.23453, -115.83472]}, {u'type': u'Point', u'coordinates': [47.96056, -3.83472]}]}]
```
