What is TileStache?

TileStache is a Python-based server application that can serve up map tiles based on rendered geographic data. You might be familiar with TileCache, the venerable open source WMS server from MetaCarta. TileStache is similar, but we hope simpler and better-suited to the needs of designers and cartographers.
TileStache is a tool in the Mapping APIs category of a tech stack.
TileStache is an open source tool with 755 GitHub stars and 289 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to TileStache's open source repository on GitHub
