Space with a (pseudo-)metric allows us to perform distances. This library offers several functionalities in this regard;

How to install

We run the command on desired installation environment:

pip install spycio

Minimal example

#!/usr/bin/env python
from numpy import pi, Inf

from spycio import distance, travelTime
from spycio.utils import spherToGeo

def format_distance_without_configuration(A, B, speed, method):
    string_template='A:{origin}, B:{target}, speed:{speed}, method:{on}, distance:{d}, eta:{eta}'
    
    dist=distance(A, B, method)
    duration=travelTime(speed, A, B, method)
    
    return string_template.format(origin=A,target=B,speed=speed, on=method,d=dist,eta=duration)

def format_distance(A, B, speed, method, config):
    string_template='A:{origin}, B:{target}, speed:{speed}, method:{on}, config:{setup}, distance:{d}, eta:{eta}'
    
    dist=distance(A, B, method, config)
    duration=travelTime(speed, A, B, method, config)
    
    return string_template.format(origin=A,target=B, speed=speed, on=method,setup=config, d=dist, eta=duration)
