It focuses on reading and +writing data in standard Python IO style, and relies upon familiar Python types +and protocols such as files, dictionaries, mappings, and iterators instead of +classes specific to OGR. Fiona can read and write real-world data using +multi-layered GIS formats and zipped virtual file systems and integrates +readily with other Python GIS packages such as pyproj, Rtree and Shapely. -- cgit v1.2.3
