This document provides an overview of PyWPS, an open source Python library for implementing OGC Web Processing Services (WPS). It discusses what PyWPS is and is not, provides code examples of defining and executing a buffer process, and outlines the project's history and future directions. Key points are that PyWPS allows connecting Python and other tools to perform geospatial analyses as WPS processes, is lightweight and modular, and a new version (PyWPS 4) is being developed to improve performance and compatibility.
