I'm looking to create a highly interactive map for the user. Not only an interactive map in the sense of visualization, where the user can move, zoom and click on the map to see a tooltip appear. But also where the user can for example click on an area (a polygon) and a python method is executed to cut the area into squares. A way to integrate the execution of python code in the map according to the user's interactions.

Is there a python solution to do this ? A tool or a specific library.

    You can use Folium.

  • Thanks @KadirŞahbaz, but are you sure we can add click event (as a function to execute) with Folium? Could you give me an example? I did not see that this was explicitly possible in the documentation.

  • I'm not so sure. I didn't see it was possible in the documentation, too. You can also check Ipyleaflet library.

  • Indeed at first glance Ipyleaflet seems to allow this. Thanks again !

After some research, ipyleaflet seems to be the best soltion to meet your needs at the moment. You can read documentation.

It includes some classes which have useful events for you as follows:

  • Map (on_interaction)
  • Layer (on_click, on_dblclick, on_mousedown, on_mouseup, on_mouseover, on_mouseout)
  • Marker (on_move)
  • GeoJSON (on_click, on_hover)
