Summary:"Geocomputation with Python (geocompy) is motivated by the need for an introductory, yet rigorous and up-to-date, resource for working with geographic data with the most popular programming language in the world. A unique selling point of the book is its cohesive and joined-up coverage of both vector and raster geographic data models and consistent learning curve. This book is an excellent place to start for those starting our working on geographic data with Python, making it ideal for students and practitioners beginning their journey with Python. There are many resources on Python on 'GeoPython' but none that fill this need for an introductory resource that provides strong foundations for future work. This book fills an 'ecological niche' in the wider free and open-source software for geospatial ecosystem. Another unique feature is that this book is part of a wider community. Geocomputation with Python is a sister project of Geocomputation with R (Lovelace, Nowosad, and Muenchow 2019), a book on geographic data analysis, visualization, and modeling using the R programming language that has 60+ contributors and an active community, not least in the associated Discord group. Links with the vibrant 'R-spatial' community, and other communities such as GeoRust and JuliaGeo, lead to many opportunities for mutual benefit across open-source ecosystems"--
