This repo contains utility scripts/modules for dealing with Shapefiles.

You'll definitely need pip.

Then you can run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you have virtualenv installed, you can run the following to install everything:

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

find_points.py simply checks if a given CSV of longitude and lattitude points exist within a given shapefile. Most of the implementation was taken from StackOverflow.

python find_points.py <shapefile_filename> <points_csv_filename>
