WebMercator

WebMercator is a Python (2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7) package to aid in geographic point conversion onto a Mercator projection for tile systems.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To utilize or contribute to Webmercator, all you need is Python!

Installing

For bleeding edge

# keeping the repo local
$ git clone git@github.com:republicwireless-open/webmercator

$ path/to/tox -e py27

# runs specific test class, only in Python 3.6
$ path/to/tox -e py36 tests/point.py

# runs specific test class, only in Python 3.6
$ path/to/tox -e py36 tests/point.py:TestPoint

# runs specific test class, only in Python 3.6
