Description : python api for reading/writing vector geospatial data
Fiona is a python wrapper around the OGR vector data abstraction library.
Fiona is designed to be simple and dependable. It focuses on reading
and writing data in standard Python IO style and relies upon familiar
Python types and protocols such as files, dictionaries, mappings, and
iterators instead of classes specific to OGR. Fiona can read and write
real-world data using multi-layered GIS formats and zipped virtual
file systems and integrates readily with other Python GIS packages
such as pyproj, Rtree, and Shapely.
This program was already packaged for the OSGeo live dvd (ubuntu based) by
Angelos Tzotsos. It will need fixes to be compliant with the debian file system
hierarchy.
Iintent to maintain this package in the Debian-GIS team.
