Osmapy - Python Editor for OpenStreetMap Data

May I introduce you to Osmapy, the Editor for OpenStreetMap data written in Python. This should become the new state of the art editor for OpenStreetMap. In contrast to the other common OSM editors this editor is based on Python. Python is modern, has a huge user base and is battery-included. This allows everyone to contribute to this project. Osmapy uses the widespread, powerful and freshly-looking Qt-framework.

Currently Osmapy is more like a prove of concept than a full fledged editor. But it can already be used to modify OSM nodes.

⚠️ Windows
Python must be added to your PATH variable. If you have not chosen to do this while the installation of Python. You have two options to achieve this:

1. Re-run the Python installer, select Modify, go to the next tab and enable the option "Add Python to environment variables"
2. Manually modify the PATH variable and add the path where osmapy is installed. In the most cases that's something like C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts\.

⚠️ Windows
Maybe you have to install the Build Tools for Visual Studio on Windows. If the installation of Osmapy fails while installing numpy this is suggested by the error message.

Development and Testing

Please use the sandbox API for development and testing. You can set the API url in the configuration file.

• Zooming: Mousewheel
• After zooming in you can click on "Load Elements" to load the OSM elements in the visible area
• Select Node with right click
• Move selected Node with arrow keys
