Open GPKG embedded layers in python












1














I have a gpkg with multiple tables, and I am trying to load it with geopandas:



import geopandas as gpd
filename = '~/example.gpkg'
gdf = gpd.read_file(filename)'


This returns the first table/layer in the gpkg. Is there any way to access the other layer, i.e. something like:



filename = '~/example.gpkg|second_table'


I'm guessing I might need to use fiona directly, but couldn't figure it out from the docs

          Use layer parameter:



          gdf = gpd.read_file(r'C:foldergeopackage.gpkg', layer='somelayername')


          read_file uses fiona.open, see: fiona.open docs
