Iterate over .osm file and call a provided callback function for each element
Project description
This code loads .osm file and allows to call function on all OSM objects in dataset.
It is distributed as an osm_iterator
PyPI package.
Usage example:
from osm_iterator.osm_iterator import Data
def show_places(element):
place_tag = element.get_tag_value("place")
name_tag = element.get_tag_value("name")
osm_object_url = element.get_link()
if place_tag != None:
print(name_tag + " is an object " + osm_object_url)
osm = Data("file.osm")
osm.iterate_over_data(show_places)
Design explanation: this code has deeply suboptimal handling of pretty much everything. For start, all data is loaded into memory and then duplicated in-memory dataset is created.
As result, attempt to process any large datasets will cause issues due to excessive memory consumption.
This situation is consequence of following facts
- This code was written during my first attempt to process OSM data using Python
- API allows (at least in theory) to painlessly switch to real iterator that is not loading all data into memory at once
- So far this was good enough for my purposes so I had no motivation to spend time on improving something that is not a bottleneck
Though, if someone has good ideas (especially in form of a working code) - comments and pull requests are welcomed.
