Low-level Python library to interact with OSM PBF files

esy.osm.pbf is a low-level Python library to interact with OpenStreetMap data files in the Protocol Buffers (PBF) format.

Usage

To count the amount of parks in the OpenStreetMap Andorra .pbf file (at least according to a copy from geofabrik), do this:

First download a copy of the andorra dataset:

>>> import os, urllib.request
>>> if not os.path.exists('andorra.osm.pbf'):
...     filename, headers = urllib.request.urlretrieve(
...         'https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/andorra-190101.osm.pbf',
...         filename='andorra.osm.pbf'
...     )

Open the file and iterate over all entry and count those with a tag leisure having a value of park.

>>> import esy.osm.pbf
>>> osm = esy.osm.pbf.File('andorra.osm.pbf')
>>> len([entry for entry in osm if entry.tags.get('leisure') == 'park'])
