Geocomputation with Python

This is the online home of Geocomputation with Python, a comprehensive book focused on reproducible geographic data analysis using open-source software. The book has been officially published in the Chapman & Hall/CRC The Python Series, and is available for purchase from the publisher or retailers like Amazon.

Inspired by the Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) movement, this is an open source book. The underlying code for the geocompy project is hosted on GitHub, ensuring that all content is reproducible, transparent, and accessible to everyone. This open-source approach encourages community interaction, allowing users to contribute by opening issues, suggesting typo fixes, and more.

The book's website is dynamically built by GitHub Actions, which rigorously runs the code with every change to ensure correctness and reproducibility. For those wishing to interactively run the code, GitHub CodeSpaces offers a convenient environment, requiring only a GitHub account. Detailed instructions for reproducing the book's content are available in the project’s GitHub repository README.
