Point objects work with latitude/longitude (WGS 84), Spherical Mercator meters (EPSG:900913), and pixel coordinates at various zoom levels. Tile objects represent map tiles in different schemes (TMS, Google Maps, QuadTree) and can be converted between them.\n\nThe package is lightweight with no runtime dependencies and is designed for developers working with web map tile systems, particularly those integrating with mapping libraries or tile servers. It handles the mathematical conversions that underpin systems like Google Maps and Bing Maps tile coordinates.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package solves a specific, well-defined problem (tile and coordinate conversion) with no dependencies and a permissive license. However, the last release was in 2018 and Python version support is unspecified\u2014verify compatibility with your target Python version before relying on it in production. The active repository suggests maintenance is possible if issues arise."},"id":"pygeotile","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pygeotile","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pygeotile.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pygeotile/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-03-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyGeoTile","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python package to handle tiles and points of different projections, in particular WGS 84 (Latitude, Longitude), Spherical Mercator (Meters), Pixel Pyramid and Tiles (TMS, Google, QuadTree)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":93683,"position":13370,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.6"}
