Now we will prepare an environment that is capable of using this data source. We are going to adapt the previous experiments into building blocks for the application and put them inside an application class, just as we did with the Geocaching app.
First let's organize the folder and files.
Create a new package called
map_makerinside yourChapter5folder. To do this, right-click on the folder and chose New | Python Package.Move the
my_datasource.pyfile to themap_makefolder (drag and drop it).Copy the
map_style.xmlandmap_functions.pyfiles that are inside themapnik_experimentsfolder to themap_makerfolder.Rename
map_style.xmltostyles.xml.In the
Chapter5root, create a file namedmap_maker_app.py. The complete tree structure should look like this:Chapter5 │ geocaching_app.py | map_maker_app.py │ models.py │ ├───mapnik_experiments │ ├───map_maker │ __init__.py │ my_datasource.py | styles.xml | map_functions.py │ ├───utils
Now we...
