Pyproj is an open-source Python interface to the PROJ library, designed for performing precise and efficient cartographic projections and geodetic transformations. It supports conversions between coordinate reference systems (CRS), datum transformations, and provides access to geospatial reference data. Pyproj is a powerful tool widely used in GIS, scientific research, and mapping applications.

Features of Pyproj:

• Python bindings for the PROJ library for coordinate transformations and projections.
• Supports a wide range of coordinate reference systems including EPSG codes and custom definitions.
• Handles both forward and inverse transformations.
• Network-enabled transformations for accessing up-to-date geodetic data grids.
• Supports complex datum transformations with high precision.
• Includes geodetic distance and azimuth calculations using geodesic methods.
• Works well in scientific and geospatial data workflows.
• Actively maintained and open-source under the OSI-approved MIT License.
