GeoPandas |version|
===================
GeoPandas is an open source project to make working with geospatial
data in python easier. GeoPandas extends the datatypes used by
`pandas`_ to allow spatial operations on geometric types. Geometric
operations are performed by `shapely`_. Geopandas further depends on
`fiona`_ for file access and `descartes`_ and `matplotlib`_ for plotting.

Description
-----------
The goal of GeoPandas is to make working with geospatial data in
python easier. It combines the capabilities of pandas and shapely,
providing geospatial operations in pandas and a high-level interface
to multiple geometries to shapely. GeoPandas enables you to easily do
operations in python that would otherwise require a spatial database
such as PostGIS.
