PyDriosm is an open-source tool for researchers/practitioners to easily download and read OpenStreetMap (OSM) data in popular file formats such as protobuf binary format (PBF) and shapefile, which are available for free download from Geofabrik and BBBike. The package also provides a convenient way for PostgreSQL-based I/O and storage of parsed OSM data. This release: 2.0.2 (24 November 2020) Notable changes since 2.0.1: Added a new parameter max_tmpfile_size for setting the maximum size of in-memory temporary file while instantiating the classes GeofabrikReader and BBBikeReader for reading OSM data. Added a new function validate_shp_layer_names() to the module utils. Optimized import statements for all modules.
