Shapely 2.0
Shapely 2.0 has finally arrived! Several years in the works, Shapely 2.0 is a major release, featuring a large refactor and fast, vectorized (element-wise) array operations along with many other improvements.
Writing an efficient code for GeoPandas and Shapely in 2023
With the release of Shapely 2.0, the GeoPandas-based code that have been optimised years ago may no longer provide the best performance. This workshop will show you how to change that and write efficient and convenient GeoPandas code that uses the benefits of the latest developments in the Python geospatial ecosystem.
