Pretty maps in Python
Making maps without an external service on macOS is an exercise in dependency hell.<p>About once a month, I have to run a script I wrote that generates a list of lat/lon values from company data to generate maps in python.  I have to keep a separate machine on an old version of macOS just for this task because python3 broke everything.<p>ALL of the tutorials online are out of date, broken, or simply don't work.  I even contacted the people at Geofabrik and offered to pay them for a solution, but they wouldn't touch the problem with a ten meter cattle prod.<p>I guess I'll spin up an Ubuntu VM and see if this solution works for me.  But the state of mapping is abysmal.  Everything is an online service or a GUI.  And none of the online services can do batch processing.
