Python script to open a file system of vector and raster GIS data, find the extent and output this into a spreadsheet in a format suitable for Marc cataloguing.
Place the bounding_box.py script in the same directory as the GIS data.
Replace the path variable on line 6 (path = './test_data') to point to your GIS data (eg path = './' if in the same directory as the GIS data).
Install the dependencies, GDAL can sometimes be difficult to install.
On mac (High Sierra) the following worked for me:
brew install gdal
Followed by creating and activating a virtual env:
python3 -m venv gdal_env
source gdal_env/bin/activate
And then installing the dependencies inside the virtual env:
pip install gdal
pip install osr
Install gdal, note: python gdal must match system gdal
Check system version using gdalinfo --version
Match with pip eg pip install gdal==2.4
Run the script within the virtual env:
python bounding_box.py
