Package mapnik

If an optional settings file exists, inherit its
environment settings before loading the mapnik library.

This feature is intended for customized packages of mapnik.

The settings file should be a python file with an 'env' variable
that declares a dictionary of key:value pairs to push into the
global process environment, if not already set, like:

    env = {'ICU_DATA':'/usr/local/share/icu/'}

Wrapper around CreateDatasource.

Create a Mapnik Datasource using a dictionary of parameters.

Keywords must include:

  type='plugin_name' # e.g. type='gdal'

See the convenience factory methods of each input plugin for
details on additional required keyword arguments.
