GIS exercises and examples with Python

GIS with Python

This repo is to host a gallery with examples and exercies that I have found useful at exploring the use of Python in GIS applications. It also provides a list of resources that have helped me.

Environment setup

My setup is carried out with conda.

The gis.yml file is a conda environment with all the required packages.

$ conda env create -f ./gis.yml

If it fails to create the enviroment, it can be replicated with:

$ conda env create --name gis
$ conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
$ conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
$ conda install python=3 geopands geopy osmnx contextily

Once the setup is done a new .yml can be created to reproduce the environment

conda env export --name gis > ./gis.yml
