Making cartopy suit my needs

cartotools include new projections, caches image tiles from WMTS services, and provides image tiles from various national SIG providers (Pseudo-Mercator only, maybe "for now").

Installation

sudo apt-get install libproj-dev
pip install Cartopy
pip install requests pillow OWSLib appdirs
pip install git+https://github.com/xoolive/cartotools

Usage

For now, just replace:

import cartotools.crs  # instead of cartopy.crs
import cartotools.img_tiles  # instead of cartopy.io.img_tiles
