WorldMill provides a smoother and more productive Python interface to the open source GIS community's most trusted geodata access library; doing for libgdal_ what lxml does for libxml2. WorldMill integrates readily with other Python GIS packages such as pyproj_, Rtree_, and Shapely_.
WorldMill requires libgdal 1.3.2+.
