Python wrapper for the OSM API
Install osmapi
simply by using pip:
pip install osmapi
If you want to help with the development of osmapi
, you should clone this repository and install the requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r test-requirements.txt
After that, it is recommended to install the flake8
pre-commit-hook:
flake8 --install-hook
To run the tests use the following command:
nosetests --verbose
By using tox you can even run the tests against different versions of python (2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3):
tox
Scripted imports and automated edits should only be carried out by those with experience and understanding of the way the OpenStreetMap community creates maps, and only with careful planning and consultation with the local community.
See the Import/Guidelines and Automated Edits/Code of Conduct for more information.

This project was orginally developed by Etienne Chové. This repository is a copy of the original code from SVN (http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/python_lib/OsmApi/OsmApi.py), with the goal to enable easy contribution via GitHub and release of this package via PyPI.
