[OSM-dev] OSM APIs?

[Graham Jones]

Stefan,
Your application looks very much like what I am thinking of making - I like
the idea of being able to write the SQL directly for testing.
Which database is it using?

I have started to write an XAPI compatible interface to an osmosis-generated
postgresql database as a simple python web server.   It nearly works - just
need to de-bug the regular expressions I am using to parse the URL - my 'off
the shelf' python code expected a CGI syntax, so it needs a bit of
modification to do XAPI....It looks like you may already have something
similar?

I would like to get to the state where I can use the same postgresql
database for querying map data via XAPI (or other interface), and rendering
it using mapnik.  I haven't looked at how to use the osmosis postgresql
schema for mapnik yet.
