PyMove is a Python library for processing and visualization of trajectories and other spatial-temporal data.

We will also release wrappers to some useful Java libraries frequently used in the mobility domain.

Read the full documentation on ReadTheDocs

PyMove proposes:

• A familiar and similar syntax to Pandas;

• Clear documentation;

• Extensibility, since you can implement your main data structure by manipulating other data structures such as Dask DataFrame, numpy arrays, etc., in addition to adding new modules;

• Flexibility, as the user can switch between different data structures;

• Operations for data preprocessing, pattern mining and data visualization.

It is recommended to create a virtual environment to use pymove.

Requirements: Anaconda Python distribution installed and accessible

1. In the terminal client enter the following where env_name is the name you want to call your environment, and replace x.x with the Python version you wish to use. (To see a list of available python versions first, type conda search "^python$" and press enter.)

   • conda create -n <env_name> python=x.x

   • Press y to proceed. This will install the Python version and all the associated anaconda packaged libraries at path_to_your_anaconda_location/anaconda/envs/env_name

2. Activate your virtual environment. To activate or switch into your virtual environment, simply type the following where yourenvname is the name you gave to your environment at creation.

   • conda activate <env_name>

3. Now install the package from either conda, pip or github

1. conda install -c conda-forge pymove

1. pip install pymove

1. Clone this repository

   • git clone https://github.com/InsightLab/PyMove

2. Switch to folder PyMove

   • cd PyMove

3. Switch to a new branch

   • git checkout -b developer

4. Make a pull of branch

   • git pull origin developer

5. Install pymove in developer mode

   • make dev

If you installed from pip or github, you may encounter an error related to shapely due to some dll dependencies. To fix this, run conda install shapely.
