The PyOGCLib team is proud to announce it's very first file release!
PyOGCLib version 0.1.0 is now available for download from the project's SourceForge page at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89925
PyOGCLib is a Python toolkit for working with OpenGIS Consortium (OGC) sanctionned open specifications,
such as Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS) web services, or the
Geography Markup Language (GML) format for geospatial data.
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is also portable, extremely
easy to learn, extensible, and quick to write and maintain.
More information is available at: http:///www.python.org
The OGC is an international industry consortium of 258 companies, government agencies and universities
participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geoprocessing specifications.

This first release features:
- WMS Client API
- WMS Server API
- WFS Client
- Extremely basic GML 2.1.1 module
- WFSAdapter (Zope product for WFS Client)
Although in their early stages and fairly simple, all of the features are functional. The project hopes that
this first early release will help galvanize interest from the Python and/or OGC communities.
Since we are still in early development stages, plans for the future are wide open, but include:
- Expanded WMS/WFS API functionality and conformance.
- A proper GML 2.x parser (WFS uses 2.1.1), and eventually a writer.
- Some sort of API or utilities for writing a WFS Server.
- Support for other OGC specifications, such as Context documents, Catalog services, etc ...
Enjoy!
