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.
