# pyosmium

Provides Python bindings for the [Libosmium](https://github.com/osmcode/libosmium) C++
library, a library for working with OpenStreetMap data in a fast and flexible
manner.

[![Github Actions Build Status](https://github.com/osmcode/pyosmium/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/osmcode/pyosmium/actions?query=workflow%3ACI)

## Installation

Pyosmium works with Python >= 3.7. Pypy is known to not work.

### Using Pip

The recommended way to install pyosmium is via pip:

pip install osmium

We provide binary wheels for Linux and Windows 64 for all actively
maintained Python versions.

For other versions, a source wheel is provided. Make sure to install all
external dependencies first. On Debian/Ubuntu-like systems, the following
command installs all required packages:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libboost-dev \
libexpat1-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev

### Installing from source

#### Prerequisites

pyosmium has the following dependencies:

* [libosmium](https://github.com/osmcode/libosmium) >= 2.16.0
* [protozero](https://github.com/mapbox/protozero)
* [cmake](https://cmake.org/)
* [Pybind11](https://github.com/pybind/pybind11) >= 2.7
* [expat](https://libexpat.github.io/)
* [libz](https://www.zlib.net/)
* [libbz2](https://www.sourceware.org/bzip2/)
* [Boost](https://www.boost.org/) variant and iterator >= 1.41
* [Python Requests](https://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/)
* Python setuptools
* [Requests](https://requests.readthedocs.io)
* a C++17-compatible compiler (Clang 7+, GCC 8+)

### Compiling from Source

Get the latest versions of libosmium, protozero and pybind11 source code. It is
recommended that you put them in a subdirectory `contrib`.

You can do this by cloning their repositories into that location.

Following commands should achieve this:

```
mkdir contrib
cd contrib
git clone https://github.com/osmcode/libosmium.git
git clone https://github.com/mapbox/protozero.git
git clone https://github.com/pybind/pybind11.git
```

You can also set custom locations with `LIBOSMIUM_PREFIX`, `PROTOZERO_PREFIX` and
`PYBIND11_PREFIX` respectively.

To use a custom boost installation, set `BOOST_PREFIX`.

To compile the bindings during development, you can use
[build](https://pypa-build.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).
On Debian/Ubuntu-like systems, install `python3-build`, then
run:

python3 -m build -w

To compile and install the bindings, run

pip install .

## Examples

The `example` directory contains small examples on how to use the library.
They are mostly ports of the examples in Libosmium and osmium-contrib.

## Testing

There is a small test suite in the test directory. This provides unit
test for the python bindings, it is not meant to be a test suite for Libosmium.

Testing requires `pytest` and `pytest-httpserver`. On Debian/Ubuntu install
the dependencies with:

sudo apt-get install python3-pytest python3-pytest-httpserver

or install them with pip using:

pip install osmium[tests]

The test suite can be run with:

pytest test

## Documentation

To build the documentation you need [mkdocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/)
with the [mkdocstrings](https://mkdocstrings.github.io/)
and [jupyter](https://github.com/danielfrg/mkdocs-jupyter) extensions
and the [material theme](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/).

All necessary packages can be installed via pip:

pip install osmium[docs]

To build the documentation run:

mkdocs build

or to few it locally, you can use:

mkdocs serve

For building the man pages for the tools run:

cd docs
make man

The man pages can be found in docs/man.
