GEO ALCHEMY
Using SQLAlchemy with Spatial Databases


WHAT OUR HAPPY PROGRAMMER SAY
GeoAlchemy 2 provides extensions to SQLAlchemy for working with spatial databases.
GeoAlchemy 2 focuses on PostGIS. PostGIS 1.5 and PostGIS 2 are supported.
SpatiaLite is also supported, but using GeoAlchemy 2 with SpatiaLite requires some specific configuration on the application side. GeoAlchemy 2 works with SpatiaLite 4.3.0 and higher.
GeoAlchemy 2 aims to be simpler than its predecessor, GeoAlchemy. Simpler to use, and simpler to maintain.

What’s New in GeoAlchemy

, which is SQLAlchemy’s standard way of calling SQL functions. - GeoAlchemy 2 works with SQLAlchemy’s ORM, as well as with SQLAlchemy’s SQL Expression Language (a.k.a the SQLAlchemy Core). (This is thanks to SQLAlchemy’s new type-level comparator system.)
- GeoAlchemy 2 supports reflection of geometry and geography columns.
- GeoAlchemy 2 adds
to_shape
,from_shape
functions for a better integration with Shapely.
