This can be added, is there an advantage over using subprocess.call with the osmx binary though? Other than not needing to have the osmx binary?

No, I don't think so. I was thinking it may make it a little bit easier to use with Anaconda. Running 'pip install osmx' doesn't install the binary does it?

It doesn't. That may be tricky to accomplish because of OS differences, I did start uploading static. binaries here: https://github.com/protomaps/OSMExpress/releases
