Python library for extracting geospatial extent of files and directories with multiple data formats

This project is developed as part of the [DFG-funded](https://o2r.info/about/#funding) research project Opening Reproducible Research (o2r, [https://o2r.info](https://o2r.info)).

## Installation

### System requirements

Python: `3.x`

The package relies on common system libraries for reading geospatial datasets, such as GDAL and NetCDF.
On Debian systems, the [UbuntuGIS](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGIS) project offers easy installation of up to date versions of those libraries.

See the `packages` list in `travis.yml` for a full list of dependencies on Linux.

### Install from PyPI

You must install a suitable version of `pygdal` manually first, see [instructions](https://pypi.org/project/pygdal/) and [this related SO thread with different helpful answers](https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/28966/python-gdal-package-missing-header-file-when-installing-via-pip/124420#124420).
We use `pygdal` for better compatibility with virtual environments.

```bash
# pip install pygdal=="`gdal-config --version`.*"
pip install geoextent
```

### Source installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/o2r-project/geoextent
cd geoextent
pip install -r requirements.txt

pip install -e .
```
