Comment on GeoScript by Justin Deoliveira

One of the goals of geoscript is to provide a nice easy to use layer on top of geotools and jts in the same way shapley and wordmill do for geos, gdal, etc. The api design is very much inspired by shapely. It is very much my hope that geoscript receives a “blessing” from the python geo community and possibly even leads to collaboration on api design.

Thanks for the comments Tom. We are ready to cut a 1.0 release for GeoScript and are putting together a few demo applications with it first. On the JavaScript side, this is server side scripting (see http://commonjs.org/) – the idea is to allow for end-to-end JavaScript mapping applications (with client side interaction and geoprocessing jobs handled in the same language). GeoScript of any flavor is also useful for common data munging tasks.

Keep an eye out for more full-fledged examples soon.

Comment on Making W*S suck less by tomkralidis

@Derek: in trunk at http://trac.gispython.org/lab/browser/OWSLib/trunk/owslib/sos.py.

At this point, the implementation is partial at best, with Capabilities XML parsing. DescribeSensor and GetObservation support needs to be implemented, as well as doctests for all SOS support. Tests/patches welcome!

Can you point me to the SOS code (as opposed to the WFS/WMS code) for OWSLib?

Tom,

XSMELL – some people say, it’s the most ‘brilliantest’ C++ XML creation library ever created

For lines and polygons, you would modify the SHPCreateSimpleObject function by setting the geometry type, number of vertices, and the vertices arrays accordingly.
