  Description     : Python API for using geospatial raster data with Numpy

 Rasterio reads and writes geospatial raster datasets.
 .
 Rasterio employs GDAL under the hood for file I/O and raster formatting.
 Its functions typically accept and return Numpy ndarrays. Rasterio is designed
 to make working with geospatial raster data more productive and more fun.
 .
 Apart from the rasterio library the package also contains a command-line
 interface "rio" which can be used to inspect raster datasets.

I intent to maintain this package in Debian GIS.
