oxidized-rasterstats 0.1.1

Rust-accelerated drop-in replacement for python-rasterstats

oxidized-rasterstats

Rust-accelerated, GDAL-backed implementation of rasterstats with drop-in Python API compatibility.

Status

• Import path compatibility: from rasterstats import zonal_stats, point_query
• Build/packaging flow: maturin
• Rust fast paths: zonal stats + point query
• Python fallback: upstream-compatible behavior preserved
• Non-overlap nodata semantics: matches upstream python-rasterstats boundless footprint behavior
• Rust dispatch exceptions are logged before fallback so backend failures are visible in operations logs

Quick Start

python -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -e ".[test,perf]"
pip install maturin

python scripts/sync_upstream.py \
  --repo /workdir/python-rasterstats \
  --sha e51b48a62e3ac7e4ef4a81a8c2a8e5b90fa5e8ac

maturin develop --release

Dispatch Model

• Default mode enables Rust fast-path for eligible zonal_stats and point_query calls.
• Set OXRS_DISABLE_RUST=1 to force Python fallback behavior.
• Fast path auto-falls back to Python for unsupported dynamic cases.

Examples:

# Default mode (zonal fast path active when eligible)
PYTHONPATH=python python -c "from rasterstats import zonal_stats; print(callable(zonal_stats))"

# Force Python fallback for both APIs
PYTHONPATH=python OXRS_DISABLE_RUST=1 python -c "from rasterstats import point_query; print(point_query('POINT(245309 1000064)','tests/upstream/data/slope.tif')[0])"

# Explicit Rust-on flag is optional (kept for compatibility)
PYTHONPATH=python OXRS_ENABLE_RUST=1 python -c "from rasterstats import zonal_stats; print(zonal_stats('tests/upstream/data/polygons.shp','tests/upstream/data/slope.tif')[0])"

PyPI Release Workflow

• Tag a release commit with v* (for example v0.1.0) and push the tag.
• GitHub workflow .github/workflows/release-wheels.yml builds:
  • Linux wheels for CPython 3.9-3.12
  • source distribution (sdist)
• Publish job uses PyPI Trusted Publishing with environment: pypi.
