Rtree: Spatial indexing for Python ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ `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) Documentation and Website .............................................................................. http://toblerity.github.com/rtree/ Requirements .............................................................................. * `libspatialindex`_ 1.7.0+.
