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)
