HI,

I write this post to warn anyone thinking of using this product. While it is not broken at all, the underlying libraries it is relying on, RTree and libspatialindex, look to be seriously broken, or, in the most fortunate case, not thread safe.

@marfago any plans for using an alternative library for indexing? I love the features in the libspatialindex-based python rtree library but am looking for a good multiprocessing (at least read-only) alternative.
