Introducing CARTOframes: A Python Interface for CARTO` CARTOframes is a Python package that enables data scientists to easily integrate CARTO into their workflows, creating interactive or static maps and performing spatial analysis using CARTO's cloud-based PostGIS database. It allows users to read from a CARTO dataset into a pandas DataFrame and send DataFrames back to CARTO as tables, interacting with the Data Observatory for measures of interest. With its focus on data science community standards like Jupyter notebooks, pandas, matplotlib, and SQL/PostGIS, CARTOframes ties in seamlessly with the wider Python ecosystem, making it easy to communicate analyses and reproducible workflows.
