Overview of this book

From Python programming good practices to the advanced use of analysis packages, this book teaches you how to write applications that will perform complex geoprocessing tasks that can be replicated and reused. Much more than simple scripts, you will write functions to import data, create Python classes that represent your features, and learn how to combine and filter them. With pluggable mechanisms, you will learn how to visualize data and the results of analysis in beautiful maps that can be batch-generated and embedded into documents or web pages. Finally, you will learn how to consume and process an enormous amount of data very efficiently by using advanced tools and modern computers’ parallel processing capabilities.

Installing other packages directly from pip


Some packages do not require compilation steps. For Windows users, these are easier to install because they can be obtained and installed directly with pip with a single command.

Windows

You need to simply type the following command in your Command Prompt:

c:\Python27\scripts\pip install django tabulate requests xmltodict psycopg2

Ubuntu Linux

In the terminal, type the following command:

sudo pip install django tabulate requests xmltodict psycopg2

For each package, you should see the progress of the installation, similar to the following:
