TOPOJSON.PY

Port of topojson more of a translation then a port at this point, licensed under same BSD license as original, current usage:

input can be a file-like object, a path to a file, or a dict, output can be a path or a file-like object, if omited a dict is returned

current tested options are quantization and simplify.

from topojson import topojson
#give it a path in and out
topojson(inPath,outPath, quantization=1e6, simplify=0.0001)

can also go the other way.

from topojson import geojson
geojson(topojson,input_name=None,out_geojson=None)

topojson may be a dict, a path, or a file like object, input_name is a string and if omited the first object in topojson.objects is used, geojson may be a file like object or a path if omitied the dict is returned

known issues:

  • coding style only a mother could love
  • holds everything in memory, this could be bad
  • should be able to incrementally add features to a topojson object
