Python GDAL/OGR bindings

Python GDAL/OGR bindings are tools that enable Python programs to read, write, and manipulate geographic data formats, such as maps and spatial information. GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) handles raster data like satellite images and elevation models, while OGR manages vector data such as roads and boundaries. These bindings provide a powerful interface, allowing developers to process geographic data efficiently for mapping, analysis, and visualization purposes within Python. This makes working with spatial data more accessible and automatable, bridging the gap between complex geospatial formats and programming.
