Hi, I have created a python version of canvec-to-osm. It does basically the same as Sam's batch files. With it, 1 or 16 tiles are downloaded, converted, and put in a ZIP file.
The script can be found here: http://www.steggink.org/osm/Canvec/Canvec-to-osm_v0.1.zip Requirements: - Python 2.6 (recommended) or 2.5: http://www.python.org/ - Java Runtime Environment: http://www.java.com/ - recent version of shp-to-osm: http://redmine.yellowbkpk.com/projects/list_files/geo I've tested the script both on Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) with shp-to-osm 0.7.1 - 0.7.3. The rules files come from Sam's canvec-to-osm script, version 0.9.6.0. They are not the final rules files which should be available in a few weeks. If you want to add more features, or exclude some features from being processed, you can easily add / remove lines from canvec_to_osm_features.py. The configuration of this script is part of the script itself (for now). The default should be enough to get you going, so it is not necessary to change the configuration. You can do this, if you already have an existing directory to store Canvec SHP data. The script does not attempt to modify the feature geometries. This should be done by more specialized scripts / applications. I haven't looked in that. Detailed instructions can be found in the readme. Questions and feedback are welcome.
