pygdal

pygdal provides virtualenv and setuptools friendly Python bindings for the GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) C API. It was created to address installation difficulties with the standard GDAL Python bindings for GDAL versions prior to 3.7. The project maintains a 3.6.* release line as the last for GDAL versions before 3.7, after which GDAL can be installed directly from PyPI. It focuses on offering a more 'pythonic' interface and integrates with NumPy for data handling.
