What is PyMove?

PyMove is a Python library for processing and visualization of trajectories and other spatial-temporal data.

We will also release wrappers to some useful Java libraries frequently used in the mobility domain.

---

Main Features

PyMove proposes:

• A familiar and similar syntax to Pandas;
• Clear documentation;
• Extensibility, since you can implement your main data structure by manipulating other data structures such as Dask DataFrame, numpy arrays, etc., in addition to adding new modules;
• Flexibility, as the user can switch between different data structures;
• Operations for data preprocessing, pattern mining and data visualization.

Creating Virtual Environment

In case of an error when running the library, it is recommended to create a virtual environment to use pymove. Requirements: Anaconda Python distribution installed and accessible

1. In the terminal client enter the following where yourenvname is the name you want to call your environment, and replace x.x with the Python version you wish to use. (To see a list of available python versions first, type conda search "^python$" and press enter.)

conda create -n <yourenvname> python=x.x

Press y to proceed. This will install the Python version and all the associated anaconda packaged libraries at “path_to_your_anaconda_location/anaconda/envs/yourenvname”

2. Activate your virtual environment. To activate or switch into your virtual environment, simply type the following where yourenvname is the name you gave to your environement at creation.

source activate <yourenvname>

3. Now install the package from pip or github in the virtual environment
