birdhouse-birdy 0.9.1

Birdy provides a command-line tool to work with Web Processing Services.

Birdy (the bird)

Birdy is not a bird but likes to play with them.

Birdy is a Python library to work with Web Processing Services (WPS). It is using OWSLib from the GeoPython project.

You can try Birdy online using Binder (just click on the binder link below), or view the notebooks on NBViewer.

Birdy is part of the Birdhouse project.

Full documentation is on ReadTheDocs.

Change History

v0.9.1 (2025-07-03)

Changes:

• Fixed the birdy[docs] pip installation recipe to include the necessary requirements_docs.txt file.

v0.9.0 (2025-07-02)

Changes:

• Added a Dependabot configuration file (#250).

• Removed obsolete example notebooks (#254).

• Removed distutils from the setup.py file (#263).

• Several modernization fixes for the codebase (#267):

  • Added support for Python3.12 and Python3.13.

  • Updated the authors file and Zenodo configuration to reflect contributors.

  • Replaced bumpversion (obsolete) with bump-my-version.

  • Added dependencies that were missing from the requirements*.txt and environment*.yml files.

  • Set base versions for most dependencies.

  • Updated the build setup for ReadTheDocs.

  • Updated the pre-commit hook versions.

  • Added security hardening steps to workflows.

  • Replaced pydocstyle with numpydoc-validation

  • Added missing docstrings for all public functions, classes, and methods.

  • Updated the documentation to reflect the new installation methods and add relevant badges.

v0.8.7 (2024-05-07)

Changes:

• Fix regression, where loading TIFF files would return a Dataset instead of a DataArray, the behavior prior to 0.8.5. Loading a multi-band TIFF file will now return a DataArray with the bands as dimensions.

v0.8.6 (2024-03-18)

Changes:

• Restructure the package so that the wheel does not install the testing and docs as non-importable packages.

• Ensure that data required to run tests and build docs is present in the source distribution (via Manifest.in changes).

• Documentation now includes a sphinx-apidoc-based listing of all installed modules and functions

• Add sphinx-copybutton and sphinx-codeautolink in order to increase the usefulness of code-blocks in the example documentation (copying of code blocks and ability to click on birdy objects and go straight to the documentation entry for the object).

• All documentation build warnings have been addressed.

• Add the birdy[extra] pip install recipe to be able to install all extras needed more directly.

• Raise the minimum Python required to 3.9 in the setup block.

• Remove the Python package for pandoc (unmaintained).

• Add a documentation entry on using build to build the documentation.

Changes:

• Remove GeotiffRasterioConverter.

• Remove Python 3.7 and 3.8 from CI test suite.

• Now using Trusted Publisher for TestPyPI/PyPI releases.

• Update black to v24.2.0 and code formatting conventions to Python3.9+.

0.8.4 (2023-05-24)

Changes:

• Fix docstring creation error occurring when the server identification abstract is None (#228).

• Handle case where the server describeProcess does not understand “ALL” as the process identifier (#229).

0.8.3 (2023-05-03)

0.8.1 (2021-12-01)
