pyows

pyows is a library to help building an OWS compatible service or client. It helps building requests and parsing them and also provides object types to be serialized and sent as responses.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install pyows.

pip install pyows

Usage

pyows can be used to both parse/encode OWS requests and to parse/encode objects for the various services.

Example: Parsing a WCS 2.0 GetCoverage request:

>>> from ows.wcs.v20.decoders import xml_decode_get_coverage
>>>
>>> request = b"""<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
... <wcs:GetCoverage
...     xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
...     xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wcs/2.0 http://schemas.opengis.net/wcs/2.0/wcsAll.xsd"
...     xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wcs/2.0"
...     xmlns:wcs="http://www.opengis.net/wcs/2.0"
...     service="WCS"
...     version="2.0.1">
...     <wcs:CoverageId>a</wcs:CoverageId>
... </wcs:GetCoverage>
... """
>>> print(xml_decode_get_coverage(request))
GetCoverageRequest(coverage_id='a', format=None, mediatype=None, subsetting_crs=None, output_crs=None, subsets=[], scalefactor=None, scales=[], interpolation=None, axis_interpolations=[], range_subset=None)

The other way around:

>>> from ows.wcs.v20 import GetCoverageRequest, Trim, Slice
>>> request = GetCoverageRequest(
...     coverage_id='a',
...     subsets=[
...         Trim(dimension='x', low=1.2, high=2.2),
...         Trim(dimension='y', low=3),
...         Slice(dimension='time', point='2018-05-07')
...     ]
... )
>>> print(xml_encode_get_coverage(request, pretty_print=True).value.decode('utf-8'))
