Bug#797541: RFP: python-rtree -- R-Tree spatial index for Python GIS
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : python-rtree

Description : R-Tree spatial index for Python GIS
Rtree is a ctypes Python wrapper of libspatialindex that provides a
number of advanced spatial indexing features for the spatially curious
Python user. These features include:
* Nearest neighbor search
* Intersection search
* Multi-dimensional indexes
* Clustered indexes (store Python pickles directly with index entries)
* Bulk loading
* Deletion
* Disk serialization
* Custom storage implementation (to implement spatial indexing in ZODB,
for example)
python-rtree is an optional dependency of imposm, and is probably best
maintained within the Debian GIS team along with imposm &
libspatialindex.
