Can the Python GeoLocation software use partial addresses for search

Have created Python programs that return the longitude and latitude coordinates for an address. In the case where the address is not found I get the Location = None. In a search of Google for those addresses I can find a valid an address. I suspect the problem is the syntax of the address being submitted. Is there any way to submit a partial address, e.g. (2*** S. Field St, City, State Zip) and return more than one address. Using a method such as that I would be able to determine if the address does exist and determine the correct syntax in the Geolocation database.
