  Karta is a package I've been working on for a while now. Originally, it was intended to be a light-weight pure Python module for geospatial data, but it's gradually grown C and Cython extensions in the name of performance.

  It doesn't wrap a large C library like Shapely or rasterio, but instead tries to be more general and provide the set of geographical objects and spatial algorithms that I would otherwise need to frequently reimplement.

  Anyway, I'd be interested in getting some feedback on it. I use it pretty extensively in my own work, and would like to see it be useful for others.
