Provides Python bindings for the Libosmium C++ library, a library for working with OpenStreetMap data in a fast and flexible manner.
Python >= 2.7 is supported but a version >= 3.3 is strongly recommended.
Other requirements are:
- Python setuptools
- cmake
- Pybind11 >= 2.2
- libosmium, protozero
- expat, libz, libbz2 and Boost variant and iterator
- a recent C++ compiler (Clang 3.4+, GCC 4.8+)
On Debian/Ubuntu-like systems the following should install all dependencies required for installing via pip:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libboost-dev \
libexpat1-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev
The recommended way to install pyosmium is via pip:
pip install osmium
You need to install development packages first for the dependencies mentioned above. For Windows, there are also experimental binary wheels available with all required dependencies packed already.
Get the latest versions of libosmium, protozero and pybind11. It is
recommended that you put them in a subdirectory contrib. You can also
set custom locations with LIBOSMIUM_PREFIX, PROTOZERO_PREFIX and
PYBIND11_PREFIX respectively.
To use a custom boost installation, set BOOST_PREFIX.
To compile the bindings, run
python setup.py build
To compile and install the bindings, run
python setup.py install [--user]
The example directory contains small examples on how to use the library.
They are mostly ports of the examples in Libosmium and osmium-contrib.
There is a small test suite in the test directory. This provides regression test for the python bindings, it is not meant to be a test suite for Libosmium.
You'll need the Python nose module. On Debian/Ubuntu install the package
python-nose. For Python2 mock is required as well (package python-mock).
The suite can be run with:
cd test
python run_tests.py
To build the documentation you need Sphinx
and the autoprogram extension
On Debian/Ubuntu install python-sphinx sphinxcontrib-autoprogram
or python3-sphinx python3-sphinxcontrib.autoprogram.
First compile the bindings as described above and then run:
cd doc
make html
For building the man pages for the tools run:
cd doc
make man
If you find bugs or have feature requests, please report those in the github issue tracker.
For general questions about using pyosmium you can use the OSM development mailing list or ask on OSM help.
