Workshop
Abstract:
PyWPS is one of the first implementations of OGC Web Processing Service (OGC WPS 1.0.0) on the server-side, using Python programming language. Since it’s beginning in 2006 it was offering support for running scripts of GRASS GIS and other popular libraries, such as R, GDAL, Proj4 and other. Users of PyWPS can write their server-side geo-scripts and interface them on the internet using standard WPS interface.
In this tutorial, we will introduce you with the topic, how to start with PyWPS, how to get it installed, how to start with your first process. Connection between PyWPS and QGIS WPS Plugin will be demonstrated too.
PyWPS is knowen for it's simplicity and speed installation process.
