My favorite #Python package to use is spopt, a library for spatial optimization.
It helps you with:
π Facility location planning;
π Sales territory design;
π Maximizing market share;
And much more! Check it out here:

tmap vs.Β ggplot2 for mapping β Geospatial Stuff
For me at least the choice between ggplot2 and tmap is an ongoing question. Here are my latest thoughts on the subject (with code).

Just installed mine yesterday! Unfortunately I donβt have any magic solutions. You shouldnβt need C++/Rtools, but for R itself just the installer from CRAN is pretty much what you need.
