Package pygeodesy :: Module karney |

# Module karney

Wrapper around several `geomath.Math` functions from Karney's Python package geographiclib, provided that package is installed.

Methods of the wrapped Geodesic and GeodesicLine classes return a GDict instance offering access to the `dict` items either by `key` or by `attribute` name.

With env variable `PYGEODESY_GEOGRAPHICLIB` left undefined or set to `"2"`, modules geodesicw, geodesicx and this module will use GeographicLib 2.0+ and newer transcoding, otherwise `1.52` or older. Set `PYGEODESY_GEOGRAPHICLIB=2.4` to default to the `Jacobi amplitude` instead of `Bulirsch`' function in methods ExactTransverseMercator.forward and reverse.
