r5py: Rapid Realistic Routing with R5 in Python

R5py is a Python library for rapid realistic routing on multimodal transport networks (walk, bike, public transport and car). It provides a simple and friendly interface to R5, the Rapid Realistic Routing on Real-world and Reimagined networks, the routing engine developed by Conveyal. r5py is inspired by r5r, a wrapper for R, and the library is designed to interact with GeoPandas GeoDataFrames. R5py offers a simple way to run R5 locally with Python, allowing the users to calculate travel time matrices and accessibility by different travel modes. To get started, see a detailed demonstration of the r5py in action from the Usage -section. Over time, r5py will be expanded to incorporate other functionalities from R5.

This record refers to version 0.0.4 of r5py (up-to-date as of 2022-09-09). Up-to-date versions are available from PyPi, conda-forge and the project's web page https://r5py.readthedocs.io/
