Hi another option could be using MapServer with MapScript Python bindings [0]. In any case I think the best implementation nowadays for Python is Mapnik. Or, depending on the architecture, create a WMS with MapServer, GeoServer, etc and access it via OWSLib [1] P [0] http://mapserver.org/mapscript/python.html [1] http://trac.gispython.org/lab/wiki/OwsLib -- Paolo Corti GIS specialist and web developer web: http://www.paolocorti.net twitter: @paolo_corti _______________________________________________ Community mailing list Community@lists.gispython.org http://lists.gispython.org/mailman/listinfo/community
