+Rtree is a ctypes Python wrapper of libspatialindex that provides a
+number of advanced spatial indexing features for the spatially curious
+Python user. These features include:
+
+- Nearest neighbor search
+- Intersection search
+- Multi-dimensional indexes
+- Clustered indexes (store Python pickles directly with index entries)
+- Bulk loading
+- Deletion
+- Disk serialization
+- Custom storage implementation (to implement spatial indexing in ZODB,
+ for example)
