Using SQLAlchemy with Spatial Databases
Project description
GIS Support for SQLAlchemy.
Introduction
GeoAlchemy is an extension of SQLAlchemy. It provides support for Geospatial data types at the ORM layer using SQLAlchemy. It aims to support spatial operations and relations specified by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The project started under Google Summer of Code Program under the mentorship of Mark Ramm-Christensen.
Requirements
Requires SQLAlchemy >= 0.5. Supported on python 2.5 and python 2.6. Should also work with python 2.4 but has not been tested. It also requires a supported spatial database.
Supported Spatial Databases
At present PostGIS, Spatialite and MySQL Spatial are supported.
Support
GeoAlchemy is at an early stage of development. It does not yet have a mailing list of its own but support should be available on the SQLAlchemy Mailing List or IRC Channel. Also, feel free to email the author directly to send bugreports, feature requests, patches, etc.
