gdal2mbtiles: Python-based tools for creating OGC MBTiles.

MBTiles Specification [RU], [EN]

Introduction

• Combination of multiprocess gdal2tiles and mbutil in order to write tiles directly into Mbtiles database.
• Writing tiles without transitional (temporary) storage on disk
• Works in both ways: as CLI script and from interface. Just launch window.py from gui

Requirements

• GDAL 2.X.X
• [PIL\Pillow] (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/4.0.0)
• PyQt4
