Smopy

New: you may be interested in Folium for interactive maps with Leaflet.js

Give a box in geographical coordinates (latitude/longitude) and a zoom level, Smopy returns an OpenStreetMap tile image!

import smopy
map = smopy.Map((42., -1., 55., 3.), z=4)
map.show_ipython()

You can also import the map in matplotlib and convert from geographical coordinates to pixels easily.

x, y = map.to_pixels(48.86151, 2.33474)
ax = map.show_mpl(figsize=(8, 6))
ax.plot(x, y, 'or', ms=10, mew=2);

See the example notebook
