Make working with geospatial data in python easier

Joined September 2014
Small 0.13.1 bug fix release today: if you had problems using geopandas read_file(..) with a URL, that should normally be resolved again!
GeoPandas 0.13 is out! This new version comes with a couple of new features like a method to sample random points, sorting along a Hilbert curve or better support of GeoJSON specification. See more in the 🧵 below 👇 (or above 👆).

As always, the recommended way to install the new version is to use mamba or conda and the @conda-forge channel. If you prefer pip, the release is also available on PyPI.

Okay wow, using @geopandas in Jupyter notebooks is SO COOL. You can load up a geojson and view it interactively in just two lines of code. Anyway, happy Friday y'all✌️

New, minor release of contextily, your Python purveyor of static web tiles for mapping. Thanks to @martinfleis you can now specify tile providers with plain text, like you would under `geopandas.explore` 🕸️🗺️🐍

Hi Friends - we are once again looking to grow our #opensource #python software peer review editor team at pyOpenSci. We are interested in folks with experience working with pandas / geopandas, and data frames but all are welcome to apply! If you… dlvr.it/ShhgT6

Following the traces of Shapely (cf. its recent 2.0 release) there is now "Spherely". It is still nowhere near Shapely's maturity and capabilities, but working on this project is exciting. More to come soon, hopefully! github.com/benbovy/spherely

This is a important step for GeoPandas as well! If you install the latest Shapely 2.0, you will already automatically get the performance improvements while using GeoPandas (you only need to ensure you have geopandas >= 0.12)
🎉 Release day! 🎉 Shapely 2.0.0 has finally arrived! Shapely 2.0 is a major release, featuring a large refactor and fast, vectorized (element-wise) array operations. Along with many other new features and improvements! Full changelog: shapely.readthedocs.io/en/la…
