mwm.py

It is a python library to read contents of MAPS.ME mwm files. Not everything is supported, but you can get at least all the features and their attributes. We at MAPS.ME use this script to do analytics and maintenance.

Installation

pip install mwm

Usage

Just add import mwm to your script, and read an mwm file with:

with open('file.mwm', 'rb') as f:
    data = mwm.MWM(f)

Tools

There are some useful tools in the relevant directory, which can serve as the library usage examples:

• dump_mwm.py prints the header and some statistics on an mwm file.
• find_feature.py can find features inside an mwm by type or name.
• ft2osm.py converts a feature id to an OSM website link.
