recipes/locations_of_child_languages.py is a script to extract locations for all languages in a given clade. It must be invoked specifying the local path to a clone of the Glottolog repository, the glottocode of the clade and the name of the CSV file to which to write the data, e.g. - if invoked from within the cookbook directory of a repository clone:
```
$ python locations_of_child_languages.py .. narr1281 narrow_bantu_locations.csv
```
will result in a CSV file as follows:
```
$ head narrow_bantu_locations.csv 
name,glottocode,latitude,longitude
Bube,bube1242,3.53638,8.68929
Chikunda,kund1255,-15.7337,30.2804
