Download and manage datasets in a PostGreSQL database with the PostGIS

Build and Publish PyPI version Documentation Status The idea is that this tool contains script to download (i.e. slurp) commonly used datasets and to register them in a postgresql+postgis database. This database can then be queried allowing the retrieval of the relevant data or datafiles.

The main documentation lives at geoslurp.wobbly.earth

Workings

The geoslurp module itself is a pure python module, which acts as a client. For this to work one needs to set up a running PostGreSQL database.

Change log V3

  • Use python entry points to register datasets, views and functions (removes registration of user plugin directories)
  • Move documentation to https://readthedocs.org
  • Change github actions to pusblish and then release
  • Work with SQAlchemy 2
  • more (see commit messages)

TODO's

  • Move remaining 'orphaned' datasets to suitable python packages modules or include in the main package
  • Improve this README
