s2rst — Python bindings

Python bindings for s2rst, a Rust port of Google's S2 Geometry library.

S2 is a library for spherical geometry — geometry on the surface of a sphere. This package exposes the core S2 types (points, cells, caps, polygons, ...) to Python through a thin PyO3 wrapper.

Install

The package is built with maturin:

pip install maturin
maturin develop --release

(or, for a release wheel: maturin build --release).

Quick example

import s2rst

# Create a point on the sphere from latitude/longitude (in degrees).
ll = s2rst.LatLng.from_degrees(37.7749, -122.4194)
p = ll.to_point()

# Find the leaf cell containing the point.
cell = s2rst.CellId.from_point(p)
print(cell.to_token())           # e.g. "808f7c"
print(cell.level())              # 30 (leaf)

# Walk up to a coarser level.
parent = cell.parent_at_level(10)
print(parent.to_debug_string())  # face/childpath form

# Build a circular cap (disc) of 10 km angular radius around the point.
radius = s2rst.Angle.from_radians(10.0 / 6371.0)   # 10 km / earth radius
cap = s2rst.Cap.from_center_angle(p, radius)
print(cap.area())                                   # steradians

Type checking

The package ships PEP 561 type stubs (py.typed + _core.pyi) and is recognised as a typed package by mypy and pyright.
