rustgis

Python bindings to RustGIS, a fast, free and open-source GIS in pure Rust. The RustGIS engine runs inside Python, headless: open data and projects, run any of RustGIS's commands and over 1,000 geoprocessing tools, style layers, render maps and save projects the desktop app opens as they are.

pip install rustgis            # add [geopandas] for GeoDataFrame in and out

import rustgis

s = rustgis.Session(sample=True)                  # the World Atlas sample
s.run("gp.run", tool="buffer", params={"input": "Cities", "distance": 100})
s.run("layer.symbology", layer="Countries", type="graduated", field="pop_est")
s.to_png("map.png", width=1600, height=900)      # or just `s` in Jupyter
s.save("atlas.rgis")                              # open it in the RustGIS app

gdf = s.layer("Cities").to_geopandas()            # a GeoDataFrame in EPSG:4326
s.add_geopandas(gdf[gdf.pop_max > 5_000_000], name="Big cities")

In Jupyter, rustgis.Map shows the RustGIS app itself in the cell, in step with its session both ways (pip install "rustgis[jupyter]"):

m = rustgis.Map(sample=True)
m.add_geopandas(gdf, name="Big cities")           # appears in the app
m                                                 # pan, edit, style there...
m.info()["center"]                                # ...and read it back here

Every action in RustGIS is a command with an id, the same ids the ribbon, rustgis-cli and the AI Assistant use: Session.commands() lists them with their parameters, and Session.run runs any of them. See the Python guide.
