Chapter 3. Python Libraries for Geospatial Development

This chapter examines a number of libraries and other tools that can be used for geospatial development in Python. In particular, we will cover:

  • Python libraries for reading and writing geospatial data
  • Python libraries for dealing with map projections
  • Libraries for analyzing and manipulating geospatial data directly within your Python programs
  • Tools for visualizing geospatial data

Note that two types of geospatial toolkits are not discussed in this chapter: geospatial databases and geospatial web toolkits. Both of these will be examined in detail later in this book.
