Python code that will load GTFS data into a relational database, and SQLAlchemy ORM bindings to the GTFS tables in the gtfsdb. The gtfsdb project's focus is on making GTFS data available in a programmatic context for software developers. The need for the gtfsdb project comes from the fact that a lot of developers start out a GTFS-related effort by first building some amount of code to read GTFS data (whether that's an in-memory loader, a database loader, etc...); GTFSDB can hopefully reduce the need for such drudgery, and give developers a starting point beyond the first step of dealing with GTFS in .csv file format.
(Pretty old stuff) available on pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gtfsdb
1. Install Python 2.7 (or 3.x), easy_install (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools) and zc.buildout (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout/2.5.2) on your system... 1. git clone https://github.com/OpenTransitTools/gtfsdb.git 1. cd gtfsdb 1. buildout install prod -- NOTE: if you're using postgres, do a 'buildout install prod postgresql' 1. bin/gtfsdb-load --database_url <db url> <gtfs file | url>
examples: - bin/gtfsdb-load --database_url sqlite:///gtfs.db gtfsdb/tests/large-sample-feed.zip - bin/gtfsdb-load --database_url sqlite:///gtfs.db http://developer.trimet.org/schedule/gtfs.zip - bin/gtfsdb-load --database_url postgresql://postgres@localhost:5432 --is_geospatial http://developer.trimet.org/schedule/gtfs.zip NOTE: using the is_geospatial arg will take much longer to load...
The best way to get gtfsbd up and running is via the python 'buildout' and 'easy_install' tools. Highly recommended to first install easy_install (setup tools) and buildout (e.g., easy_install zc.buildout) before doing anything else.
Postgres users, gtfsdb requires the psycopg2 database driver. If you are on linux / mac, buildout will install the necessary dependencies (or re-use whatever you have in your system site-lib). If you are on windows, you most likely have to find and install a pre-compiled version (see below).
- Have a db - docs and examples assume Postgres/PostGIS installed http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/
- Python2.7 - http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.6/ (python-2.7.6.msi) NOTE: see this for setting env variables correctly: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#excursus-setting-environment-variables
2a. Install Setup Tools (easy_install) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#windows-8-powershell 2b. easy_install zc.buildout
- Install Psygopg2 (from binary): http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/
- Check out gtfsdb from trunk with Git - see: git clone https://github.com/OpenTransitTools/gtfsdb.git
- cd top level of gtfsdb tree
- buildout install prod
- bin/gtfsdb-load --database_url <db url> <gtfs file | url>
