[OSM-talk] OSM-TileDownload - Python app to easily create maps

[Michal Migurski]

We also have a compose.py script in Modest Maps that does something  
similar from the command line:
	http://modestmaps.mapstraction.com/trac/browser/trunk/py/compose.py

You can feed it a variety of input: (lat, lon) center, desired zoom  
level and pixel dimensions; (lat, lon) bbox and pixel dimensions;  
(lat, lon) bbox and desired zoom level.
