Appendix A. Other Geospatial Python Libraries

We have covered many libraries and examples but we haven't covered them all. This appendix is meant to quickly go over the other libraries out there that play a special role in the Python geospatial working environment. This list is definitely not complete and I have not had the pleasure of working with all these libraries at the time of writing.

The listing is a resource for further reading and experiments that will, hopefully, provide you with a step in the right direction to solve your specific problems. Each description of a library starts with the official library name followed by a short description and a link to the web page:

Library name	Description	Website
Rtree	This is a Python wrapper of libspatialindex that provides advanced spatial indexing features	http://toblerity.org/rtree
rasterio	This is a Mapbox creation that aims at working with rasters in an easier manner	https://github.com/mapbox/rasterio
