This library is still under development. Do not expect full functionality, or documentation until release 1.0.0
The purpose of PyProm is to load Surface datasets for discovery of Summit, Saddles (cols), Prominence, and data manipulation/parsing of those datapoints. The goal is the take in a number of different data formats, as well as produce a number of different result formats, including common ones like KML.
pyProm is written in Python, which is a fairly accessible language to most people. My hope is once a stable, and well documented version can be produced, others can add features as they see fit.
This library is inspired by WinProm, by the late Edward Earl, as well as the number of websites which make use of similiarly derived data, such as LoJ and peakbagger

Why?? Why are you installing this??? It's nowhere near done.
Download zip from github, or clone.
Go to extraction directory and run *pip install -e .
The GDAL (Geo Data Abstration Layer) package for Python is a thin wrapper over a much larger binary package.
This produces a number of installation problems that can't always be easily dealt with with package managers and thus may need manual intervention.
First try this Gdal still giving you trouble? Try this More resources: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/GDAL/ https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html
