################ Welcome to PyWPS ################ (Python Web Processing Service) is an implementation of the `Web processing Service `_ standard from `Open Geospatial Consortium `_. It has been started in Mai 2006 as a project supported by `DBU `_ and is currently (2009) mainly sponsored by `HS-RS `_. It offers an environment for programming own processes (geofunctions or models) which can be accessed from the public. The main advantage of PyWPS is, that it has been written with native support for `GRASS GIS `_. Access to GRASS modules via web interface should be as easy as possible. PyWPS is written in `Python `_, your processes must use this language too. .. {% block tables %}

See `documentation `_ for details. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2010-01-22 PyWPS Recomended as THE WPS tool in GIGAS project ------------------------------------------------------------ PyWPS was recomended as WPS tool in the `GIGAS `_ project. PyWPS Web Processing Service: is a Python program which implements the OGC WPS 1.0.0 standard (with a few omissions). PyWPS was chosen as it is up to date with the WPS standard and has a low footprint, making it easy to install on most Linux systems. Python was considered a good choice of implementation language as it is a very easy language to develop in and allows partners to easily integrate existing processing which may have been written in other languages. PyWPS documentation may be found at http://pywps.wald.intevation.org/documentation/index.html See http://www.thegigasforum.eu/cgi-bin/download.pl?f=342.pdf for more. --------------------------------- 2009-06-01 PyWPS 3.1.0 --------------------------------- PyWPS Development team proudly announces a new stable PyWPS version 3.1.0. Features: * Up-to-date examples * New generic WPS JavaScript library * Multiple fixes in both, source code and templates * New style In- and Outputs Complex objects * Tons of bugs fixed * ...

Features of this version: * Support for OGC(R) WPS 1.0.0 * New simple configuration files * New methods for custom process definition * Support for multiple WPS servers with one PyWPS Installation * Support for internationalization * Simple code structure * Python-htmltmpl templating system * New examples of processes * ... To download this version, please follow the link below [2] or check out PyWPS directly from subversion [3]. NOTE: This versions processes are not fully compatible with previous versions of PyWPS. However, the upgrade should not be complicated. Please follow the examples from doc/examples/processes/ directory. What is PyWPS: PyWPS (Python Web Processing Service) is an implementation of the Web Processing Service (WPS) standard from Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC(R)). The main advantage of PyWPS is, that it has been written with native support for GRASS GIS, however, GRASS GIS is not required. Access to GRASS modules via the web interface should be as easy as possible. Processes can be written using GRASS GIS, but usage of other programs, like R package, GDAL or PROJ tools, is possible as well. Happy GISing!

Jachym & PyWPS Development team ---------------------- 2008-10-01 PyWPS 2.0.1 ---------------------- Today, PyWPS 2.0.1 was released. It is a bugfix release, which fixes the "PyWPSdebug" issue reported by several people. Have fun! Jachym ---------------------- 2008-10-01 PyWPS 2.0.0 ---------------------- http://pywps.wald.intevation.org After a year of development, Python Web Processing Service (PyWPS) 2.0.0 is available with a new stable release, which fixes a lot of bugs and instabilities from the previous 1.0.0 version, as well as add a lot of new functionality. PyWPS implements OGC Web Processing Service 0.4.0 standard [1]. It is developed with native support for GRASS GIS [2], however, it can be used with other GIS command line tools too (PROJ, GDAL/OGR, ...), as well as with the R Project for Statistical Computing. OGC Web Processing Service specification provides client access across a network to pre-programmed calculations and/or computation models that operate on spatially referenced data. The calculation can be extremely simple or highly complex, with any number of data inputs and outputs. It does not specify the specific processes that could be implemented by a WPS. Instead, it specifies a generic mechanism that can be used to describe and web-enable any sort of geospatial process. Several client applications can be used with PyWPS, e.g. Embrio project [3] and there is also plugin for OpenLayers [4][5]. Major changes: * New Process interface for easier coding * More stable, temporary files should be deleted in any case * More verbose, better debugging output * OGC WPS 0.4.0 still not yet fully implemented, but close to * ... New development should be focused at implementation of the OGC WPS 1.0.0 specification. Jachym & PyWPS Development Team
