Rtree: Spatial indexing for Python

Rtree is a ctypes Python wrapper of libspatialindex that provides a number of advanced spatial indexing features for the spatially curious Python user. These features include:

Nearest neighbor search
Intersection search
Multi-dimensional indexes
Clustered indexes (store Python pickles directly with index entries)
Bulk loading
Deletion
Disk serialization
Custom storage implementation (to implement spatial indexing in ZODB, for example)

Wheels are available for most major platforms, and rtree with bundled libspatialindex can be installed via pip:

pip install rtree
