They don't seem to go in the Env like the other options?

Correct, those dataset creation options need to be passed into rasterio.open().

One way to do that is to add to your metadata dict below

  metadata["profile"] = "GeoTIFF"

Any extra keyword argument passed to rasterio.open() is collected into a kwargs dict (see https://rasterio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/rasterio.html#rasterio.open) and items of that dict are turned into GDAL dataset creation options (by uppercasing the keyword argument names and converting their values appropriately).


My code at the moment as follows. It create the .tif and .ovr file .
If anyone can improve it, and help me get the aux.xml file too I'd be
very grateful. I need the ovr and aux.xml files to be created
independently as it's what the client needs.
-------
import rasterio

with rasterio.open("meri50year.tif") as file:
    data               = file.read(1)
    metadata           = file.profile
    metadata['nodata'] = 255
    data[data == 1 ]   = 4
    data[data == 15 ]  = 255

outfile = 'meri50_processed.tif'

with rasterio.Env(GDAL_PAM_ENABLED=True, ESRI_XML_PAM=True, TIFF_USE_OVR=True):
    with rasterio.open(outfile, 'w', **metadata) as new_temp_file:
        new_temp_file.write(data, 1)
        overviews = [2,4,8,16]
        new_temp_file.build_overviews(overviews, Resampling.nearest)

Thanks again Sean, and Evan too. It seems I just need to get the right
combination of options.

Indeed. You can play with the GTIFF specific PROFILE creation option
(see https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/gtiff.html#creation-issues)

PROFILE=BASELINE: .aux.xml only created if presence of georeferencing and/or
user metadata
PROFILE=GEOTIFF: .aux.xml only created if there's user metadata
PROFILE=GDALGeoTIFF: .aux.xml only created if user metadata doesn't fit in
TIFF tag

If you are creating a GeoTIFF it is possible that no XML file will be written. As Even Rouault explains in https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2010-May/024522.html, the PAM file is only created if needed.

In the script below, I'm using JPEG as an output format and do see creation of a PAM file.

from rasterio import Env
from rasterio.shutil import copy

with Env(GDAL_PAM_ENABLED=True, ESRI_XML_PAM=True):
    copy("/Users/seang/code/rasterio/tests/data/RGB.byte.tif", "/tmp/foo.jpg", driver="JPEG")

$ ls -l foo.jpg*
-rw-r--r--  1 seang  wheel  103112 Jun 28 08:19 foo.jpg
-rw-r--r--  1 seang  wheel    2252 Jun 28 08:19 foo.jpg.aux.xml

I hope this gets you on the right track!

it's recognizing the commands as the aux.xml file isn't created (but

Anyone got a good idea?
