Python API for deck.gl, rendering GPU geospatial layers in Jupyter notebooks and Dash apps.

pydeck is the Python API for deck.gl, letting you assemble deck.gl layers from Python objects and render them in Jupyter notebooks, standalone HTML, or a Dash application. It covers the same layer catalog as the JavaScript framework, including GeoJSON, ArcGIS, and Mapbox sources plus GPU aggregation and heatmap layers. It lives in the deck.gl monorepo under bindings/pydeck and is published to PyPI.
