[OSM-talk] creating shapefile of postcodes

[maning sambale]

I wanted to create a similar shapefile like this
(http://old-dev.openstreetmap.org/~random/postcodes/) for my area.
The first step is to extract postcodes in OSM.
The problem there several postcode variations in the database

addr:postcode
postal_code
is_in:zip

Some are in node (POIs) others in ways (building).  Any advise on
extracting this data as input to makeShapeColoured.py?
