Introduction
bykml is a library for reading, writing, and updating KML files. It uses dictionaries to make replacing values and adding KML elements simple.
Documentation
The kmlfactory module inside the bykml package provides:
KmlFactoryclassplacemark_templatefunction
These are used to create placemarks and add them to a KML structure.
Install
pip install bykml
Dependencies
Limitations
Because Python dictionaries can only hold one value per key, lists must be used when a KML tag needs multiple child items.
For example, a Folder containing multiple placemarks must represent those placemarks as a list.
Support for more flexible nested structures is currently under review.
For release history, see CHANGELOG.md.
