It abstracts the GPX schema into Python objects (tracks, segments, points, waypoints, routes) that you can parse from files, modify programmatically, and serialize back to valid XML. The library handles both GPX 1.0 and 1.1 versions automatically, preserves extensions, and provides utility methods for calculating statistics like distance and speed while filtering out common GPS errors.\n\nIt has no external runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel, making it lightweight and portable. The library is mature (first released 2012-03-21) and widely adopted, though maintenance is dormant\u2014the last release was 2023-11-29. It supports Python 3.6 and later, with optional use of lxml for faster XML parsing if available.","worth_installing":"Yes. gpxpy is a stable, dependency-free parser for a standard format with strong adoption. Dormant maintenance is acceptable here because GPX is a stable XML schema unlikely to change; the repository remains active. Install it if you need to read, write, or manipulate GPS tracks in Python."},"id":"gpxpy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gpxpy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gpxpy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gpxpy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-11-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gpxpy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"GPX file parser and GPS track manipulation library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":524634,"position":6188,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.2"}
