missing proper Python documentation #184

Open alexandervlpl opened 6 years ago

alexandervlpl commented 6 years ago

Beyond a few simple tasks these bindings are completely useless without current documentation. With all due respect to the excellent Mapnik developers, an outdated wiki where none of the examples work is not documentation. Since these are bindings, most objects and methods are hard to inspect.

I would be happy to help if I can.

Started adding info about broken symbolizers in the wiki and a warning about the current state of the bindings on the Getting Started in Python page.

I spent quite a lot of time to make the binding works ... now I just use some map zoom functions and leave the rest entirely on xml config

so I think it will be great if someone with more c++ skills can focus on the map functions bindings document and yes, make it work with the most recent release (I'm now able to work with 3.0.16, on some basic polygon/point layer)

Documentation and installation of the Python bindings are still terrible.
