PyrouteLib
This page is about running pyroute from the command-line, or using it as a library from Python programs. For the graphical interface, see Pyroute
Background info
See the original web page: http://almien.co.uk/OSM/Routing/
Download and installing it
Source code: http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/routing/pyroutelib2/
Installing goes very simple on Linux run the command
svn co http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/routing/pyroutelib2/
An alternative repository which supports Python 3 and the new v0.6 API (using osmapi package) can be found at https://github.com/gaulinmp/pyroutelib2. Install using:
git clone https://github.com/gaulinmp/pyroutelib2
Running the program
Simple routing
Run the command:
route.py osmfile.osm startnode endnode transportType
To get a list of nodes
Route to OSM or GPX file
To produce an OSM XML file containing the route (for loading into JOSM, or rendering using osmarender etc:
routeAsOsm.py osmfile.osm startnode endnode transportType description
To get a GPX XML file, that you can upload to your GPS:
routeAsGpx.py osmfile.osm startnode endnode transportType description
Test if an OSM file is compatible
To test if it can load an OSM file, and how long it takes:
loadOsm.py dataFile.osm transportType
Original-style pyroute
Will generate a PNG image showing all the streets, the route, and highlighting the roads and nodes that it considered routing along (good debug tool for routing algorithms)
