[SciPy-User] KD Tree with great circle distances

[ashwin .D]

Hi David,
                Many thanks for your prompt response and that maybe the
route that I may have to take eventually. I was just wondering whether
scipy has any equivalent for the stuff described in this paper -
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/sphspline/Wessel+Becker_2008_GJI.pdf ?

Regards,
Ashwin.
