GIRS |release|
==============

``girs`` (Geographic Information and Remote Sensing) is a wrapper around gdal/ogr written in python with additional geoprocessing algorithms.
 
Why GIRS?
_________

	1. Python bindings crashes if not used correctly. A wrapper class maintains the scope of gdal/ogr dataset, avoiding known gotchas (see https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/PythonGotchas).
	2. It is repository for diverse gdal and ogr geoprocessing methods
	3. It contains additional methods, extending gdal/ogr features.

GIRS supports operational geoprocessing using gdal/ogr. 

GIRS is licensed under MIT license (https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).
