karta 0.4.5

Geospatial analysis in Python

Karta is a simple and fast framework for spatial analysis in Python.

Components:

• Clean geographically-aware vector and gridded data types

• Integration with pyproj to support a wide range of coordinate systems and transformations

• A selection of geographical analysis methods including geodetic length and area calculations, intersections, convex hulls, raster sampling and profiling, and grid warping

• IO for several common geographical formats, including GeoJSON, shapefiles (through pyshp), ESRI ASCII, and GeoTiff (through GDAL). Vector geometries implement __geo_interface__.

Karta works with Python 2.7 and Python 3.3+.
