Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : python-rtree Version : 0.8.2 Upstream Author : Howard Butler <hobu....@gmail.com> * URL : http://toblerity.org/rtree/ * License : LGPL-2.1+ Programming Lang: Python Description : R-Tree spatial index for Python GIS
Rtree is a ctypes Python wrapper of libspatialindex that provides a number of advanced spatial indexing features for the spatially curious Python user. These features include: * Nearest neighbor search * Intersection search * Multi-dimensional indexes * Clustered indexes (store Python pickles directly with index entries) * Bulk loading * Deletion * Disk serialization * Custom storage implementation (to implement spatial indexing in ZODB, for example) python-rtree is an optional dependency of imposm, and is probably best maintained within the Debian GIS team along with imposm & libspatialindex.
