The Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL)

The Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL) is an Open-Source, Cross-Platform Geospatial Data Science Project.

The July 2024 release of PySAL metapackage is available on pypi and conda-forge

the new PySAL is out today! This release introduces the new Graph class and includes a *ton* of new stuff all across the metapackage

the Graph and the GPU go great together

This month marks the release of pysal/spreg 1.5.0, the spatial econometrics package of PySAL. This new version mainly addresses features that users have long requested. It brings several new features, performance enhancements and bug fixes. (1/9)

PySAL's BDFL is elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science! Congratulations Serge!

Open source is good for science

[eli knaap @knaaptime]

so, an opinionated take: 'Urban Analysis and Spatial Science' will be available from CRC Press in early 2025 :)

the digital version (still in draft) is at https://t.co/SVjBbpk6GF

comments, criticism, and feedback welcome.

the januay 2024 release of @pysal_devs is live https://t.co/kCctNMV3GR
Tons of new changes and additions

(im teaching "Spatial Analysis and Econometrics with PySAL" at WRSA in feb & "Python for Spatial Data Science" at @CARTO in march if you're looking to get your feet wet :) )

We were very lucky to have @QunshanZhao visiting us today @AaltoUniversity to give us a workshop about spatial optimization methods using open source tool #spopt in @pysal_devs. 🤓🌍 Super inspiring and useful! Thanks! 🙏😊 @AaltoGeoinfo

[Qunshan Zhao @QunshanZhao]

We have been working on the development of the open-source spatial optimisation package (@pysal_devs spopt) in the past three years and here is an update: https://t.co/hnLjMKjgVD.

This is just as good a last-monday of Aug. to remind the X-verse (?) our book "Geographic Data Science with Python" is out and about, you can order it if you want and/or you can enjoy it free online! All your #python needs for #geospaial + #DataScience in one neat package 🐍🌍🤖

new paper with @sreyog in EPB today :)

If you care about residential segregation, but you ignore the way travel networks are designed, you're probably missing an important part of the picture

I am very honoured to share that I am one of this year’s awardees of the Distinguished Service to Regional Studies Awards. The award is granted by the Regional Studies Association @regstud

If you're into cities or open spatial science and needed another reason to come to NARSC in San Diego, @pedrov_amaral, Luc, @sreyog and I are teaching spatial analysis and spatial econometrics with @pysal_devs 👐

if i were to take some michigan NLCD data, use it to seed a little cellular automata model with spatial-stochastic transition rules, and animate the results, I'd be sorely tempted to call it "A Computer Movie Simulating Urban Growth in the Detroit Region"...

I was featured on NumFOCUS' Google Summer of Code wrap-up post! Had a wonderful experience working with @pysal_devs -- highly recommend to anyone interested in spatial data science! https://t.co/8PpBYAw72r

@story645 @geopandas count us in :)

@lalwani_sameer @twiecki @lucianopaz47 @pymc_labs @pymc_devs we also have an (admittedly dated) interface to pymc3

Would be great to work together to build better support for bayesian spatial models :)
