@martinfleis for what it's worth I have updated all of the modules according to your recipe and have a backwardly incompatible #pysal #momepy but Shapely 2.0 "compliant" version on GitHub.
This is based on my now-closed pull-request. It passes pytest validation and I'll use this in the meantime.
(With this and the #pyogrio issue at Christmas, which is fixed, I seemed to be inadvertently surfing the bleeding edge somewhat).
Anyway thanks again for all these toolsets and your help today.
