GeoUtils: consistent geospatial analysis in Python.

GeoUtils is an open source project to develop a core Python package for geospatial analysis and foster inter-operability between other Python GIS packages.

It aims at facilitating end-user geospatial analysis by revolving around consistent Raster and Vector objects that effortlessly interface between themselves. GeoUtils is founded on implicit loading behaviour, robust numerical interfacing and convenient object-based methods to easily perform the most common higher-level tasks needed by geospatial users.

If you are looking for an accessible Python package to write the Python equivalent of your GDAL command lines, or of your QGIS analysis pipeline without a steep learning curve on Python GIS syntax, GeoUtils is perfect for you! For more advanced users, GeoUtils also aims at being efficient and scalable by supporting lazy loading and parallel computing (ongoing).

GeoUtils relies on Rasterio, GeoPandas and Pyproj for georeferenced calculations, and on NumPy and Xarray for numerical analysis. It allows easy access to the functionalities of these packages through interfacing or composition, and quick inter-operability through object conversion.
