Osmium started out as a C++ program. There are now python (PyOsmium) and nodjs bindings.
He added a command line tool: osmium-tool. It works on osx, linux and windows. There are ubuntu/debian packages, too.

My name is Reinout van Rees and I program in Python, I live in the Netherlands, I cycle recumbent bikes and I have a model railway.
