It provides two main functions: converting a latitude/longitude pair and precision level into a zone code, and converting a zone code back into its approximate center coordinates. The package has no external dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel.\n\nGeohex is used in GIS applications where you need to index, query, or group locations by geographic proximity. The zone code acts as a hierarchical spatial hash\u2014different precision levels produce codes of different granularity, allowing you to cluster nearby points or perform efficient spatial lookups. The package is marked stable but is no longer maintained, and its Python version support is dated.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you specifically need Geohex v3.2 encoding/decoding and are comfortable with an unmaintained package. The library is simple, dependency-free, and has no known vulnerabilities. Test compatibility with your Python version first, as classifiers only list through Python 3.6. If you need active maintenance or support for newer Python versions, consider whether an alternative spatial indexing library might be a better fit."},"id":"py-geohex3","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-geohex3","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-geohex3.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/py-geohex3/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-04-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"py-geohex3","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"geohex v3.2 python implementation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":133901,"position":11493,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.0"}
