Because I need mapnik to render planet then I will use openlayers to display it. Openlayers has a wrapper in tw.openlayers (tosca widgets) which I can import into my turbogears application which enables me to display my custom layer on top of the openstreetmap.org layer all using python. So if I can't figure out what url scheme is used to display mapnik data, I can't tell if openlayers will display it, and if I don't know which part of openlayers displays it I can't check if the wrapper in toscawidgets is done for that part, and if its not done then how is it all going to work? I hope that makes it clear why I need to know: What is the url scheme for mapnik images, ( its google style URL, is there a proper name for it?) Is there a sample code in openlayers that displays google style url and I can use it to display mapnik data?
