It installs as a set of console commands (tippecanoe, tile-join, tippecanoe-decode, tippecanoe-enumerate, tippecanoe-json-tool, tippecanoe-overzoom) that you run from the shell or invoke programmatically.\n\nThe package provides prebuilt binary wheels for macOS and Linux across multiple architectures, eliminating the need to compile tippecanoe yourself. It has no Python runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install. You can use it standalone via pip, integrate it into build systems via pyproject.toml, or run it on-demand with pipx without a permanent installation.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to generate or manipulate vector tilesets from geographic data. The package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, carries a permissive license, and provides convenient prebuilt binaries for common platforms. Install friction is moderate but manageable; the main consideration is ensuring your target architecture has a prebuilt wheel available."},"id":"tippecanoe","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tippecanoe","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tippecanoe.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tippecanoe/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-12-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"tippecanoe","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Builds vector tilesets from large (or small) collections of GeoJSON, FlatGeobuf, or CSV features"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":95613,"position":13261,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.72.0"}
