legoktm implemented coordinates logic to Pywikibot so you can ask the page for the coordinates, see https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/master/pywikibot/page.py#L1155
I have some code lying around here to import coordinates to Wikidata so I can probably glue the two together to make it easy to import

Script is about done, but I ran into some Wikidata problems.
I'm getting the coordinate with "coordinate = page.coordinates(primary_only=True) "
Than I'm adding the coordinate as a claim
newclaim = pywikibot.Claim(self.repo, u'P625')
newclaim.setTarget(coordinate)
item.addClaim(newclaim)
And we end up with a nice serialization error (https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q3969823&oldid=113051304). Tracked in 62105
