Download and manage datasets in a PostGreSQL database with the PostGIS

The idea is that this tool contains script to download (i.e. slurp) commonly used datasets and to register them in a postgresql+postgis database. This database can then be queried allowing the retrieval of the relevant data or datafiles.

The main documentation lives at geoslurp.wobbly.earth

Workings

The geoslurp module itself is a pure python module, which acts as a client. For this to work one needs to set up a running PostGreSQL database.

Change log V3

• Use python entry points to register datasets, views and functions (removes registration of user plugin directories)
• Move documentation to https://readthedocs.org
• Change github actions to pusblish and then release
• Work with SQAlchemy 2
• more (see commit messages)

TODO's

• Move remaining 'orphaned' datasets to suitable python packages modules or include in the main package
• Improve this README
