OpenStreetMap in TileCache via mapnik

Last night: fought with mapnik until I got it built.
This morning: Added a mapnik layer to TileCache (14 lines of code.)

Result: OpenStreetMap in TileCache

Mapnik renders things really pretty. If you just want to draw maps, I’d say that mapnik might be the way forward, once it grows up a bit more. Geographically deterministic labels means that ka-map like hacks are unnecessary. agg-based rendering means that it’s really frickin’ pretty. I think I’m falling in love.

    Hi,

    I’m extremely impressed with your wms-c demo; any chance you can supply
    me with a copy of its implementation? I have managed to install the latest
    mapnik from svn, and tilecache. I’m still learning how to use mapnik to
    access the vmap0 dataset(s). I sure could use your demo as an ideal starting
    point/example for my activities.

    Thanks much in advance.

    Cheers,

    –david
