Write OpenStreetMap data files. Currently only XML format is supported. Pure python. No external dependencies. Supports python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4.

It'll write to an open file-like object.

from osmwriter import OSMWriter

with open("myfile.osm.xml", "w") as fp:
    xml = OSMWriter(fp=string)
    xml.node(1, 10, 30, {"highway": "yes"}, version=2)
    xml.way(1, {'pub': 'yes'}, [123])
    xml.relation(1, {'type': 'boundary'}, [('node', 1), ('way', 2, 'outer')])
    xml.close()

Or you can write directly to a filename:

from osmwriter import OSMWriter

xml = OSMWriter("test.osm.xml")
xml.node(1, 10, 30, {"highway": "yes"}, version=2)
xml.way(1, {'pub': 'yes'}, [123])
xml.relation(1, {'type': 'boundary'}, [('node', 1), ('way', 2, 'outer')])
xml.close()

I welcome all suggestions and patches. GitHub is the project page: https://github.com/rory/openstreetmap-writer . Tests can be run by python setup.py test (or tox to run tests on all supported Python versions.
