Performs cartographic transformations and geodetic computations. the proj class can convert from geographic (longitude,latitude) to native map projection (x,y) coordinates and vice versa, or from one map projection coordinate system directly to another.

the geod class can perform forward and inverse geodetic, or great circle, computations. the forward computation involves determining latitude, longitude and back azimuth of a terminus point given the latitude and longitude of an initial point, plus azimuth and distance. the inverse computation involves determining the forward and back azimuths and distance given the latitudes and longitudes of an initial and terminus point.

this package contains architecture independent data for python-pyproj.
