Description: 
        Karta - tidy Python package for geospatial computation
        ======================================================
        
        *Karta* is a Leatherman for geographic analyses. *Karta* provides an
        interface for solving problems in Python (2 or 3) that works nicely with
        existing packages. To this end, it provides simple and clean vector and
        raster data types, a selection of analysis functions, the ability to
        read and write a small number of useful formats, and interoperability
        with *numpy*.
        
        Goals of *Karta* include providing a simple, lightweight, and fast set
        of tools useful for "everyday" spatial analysis, as well as a flexible
        set of abstractions upon which to build more advanced routines.

        FORMATS
        -------
        
        *Karta* provides a basic working interface to several of common file
        formats. Currently partially-supported are:
        
        -  vector
        
           -  ASCII tables (XYZ) (r,w)
           -  GeoJSON (r,w)
           -  GPS eXchange (GPX) (r,w)
           -  VTK (w)
           -  ESRI Shapefiles via pyshp (r,w)
        
        -  raster
        
           -  ESRI ASCII Grid (r,w)
           -  USGS DEM (WIP)
        
        INSTALLATION
        ------------
        
        The easiest way to install is to use ``pip``.
        
        ::
        
            cd karta/
            pip install .
        
        DEPENDENCIES
        ------------
        
        Required
        ~~~~~~~~
        
        -  Python 2.6+ or Python 3.2+
        -  numpy
        -  pyshp
        
        Optional
        ~~~~~~~~
        
        -  pyproj (required for geodetic calculations)
        -  scipy
        -  Cython
        
        Cython is an optional dependency used to speed up select functions. In
        general, enhanced-performance functions will then be called
        automatically when available, otherwise *Karta* will fall back to numpy
        and pure-Python versions.
