Request access for shapely

[jorisvandenbossche]

While not a core project, Shapely is widely used in geospatial subcommunity. Shapely is a compiled package, and apart from an external dependency on GEOS, it also has a build dependency on numpy, so especially with the upcoming numpy 2.0 it would be nice to host shapely nightly wheels built with numpy 2.0.

(I see there is some discussions in other issues about criteria when to include a package, tried to reflect that in the above paragraph)

Thanks for the Issue @jorisvandenbossche! Also thanks for being extra diligent and noticing some of the other ongoing discussion.

Once we get thngs figured out in Issue #30 (see related discussion in Issue #29) we'll be able to give you information on how to proceed here. If you're interested, I would suggest subscribing to those Issues.

@jorisvandenbossche Good news, we have the approval (#30 (comment)) to add shapely to the nightly wheels Anaconda Cloud org https://anaconda.org/scientific-python-nightly-wheels/ !

To get started on this please do the following:

Steps to gain upload access to https://anaconda.org/scientific-python-nightly-wheels/

• Create an account on Anaconda Cloud
• Reply here with the link to your account
• Make a new Anaconda Cloud API token with permissions described in https://scientific-python.org/specs/spec-0004/#process-for-adding-new-projects

• Save the API token as a repo GitHub Actions secret named ANACONDA_ORG_UPLOAD_TOKEN
• Direct me (@matthewfeickert) to a shapely nightly wheel for me to upload to create the package in the registry
• Verify that I have added you to the shapely team "Group" on https://anaconda.org/scientific-python-nightly-wheels
• Verify that I have added the package scientific-python-nightly-wheels/shapely to the shapely team "Group"

If you'd also like to use the scientific/upload-nightly-action GitHub Action that this repository provides please check out this repo's README. If you need to collect wheels from different CI jobs, consider creating a new GitHub Actions workflow with logic similar to matplotlib's or Awkward's.

If you have any questions please just ask here!

The wheels are built on github actions, and so for the currently last commit on main, you can find it here: https://github.com/shapely/shapely/actions/runs/7931478835 (scroll down to the artifacts, and then download the wheels for any of the architectures should work I guess)

Would it make sense to add geopandas as well?

[matthewfeickert]

@jorisvandenbossche I've made https://anaconda.org/scientific-python-nightly-wheels/shapely/ and you should now have admin control over the shapely group. If you've created the API token then you should now be able to have your CI/CD workflow upload. 👍

[martinfleis]

@jarrodmillman Geopandas is pure Python. Do we want to include packages like that as well? It won't take almost any space, that's for sure.

[stefanv]

If it's pure Python, then CI can install directly from GitHub. I think it makes most sense to have binary artifacts in this repo.

[jorisvandenbossche]

Thanks a lot @matthewfeickert !
Verified that I was added to the anaconda cloud account, and set up the upload action on the shapely side (shapely/shapely#1997, shapely/shapely#1998), the first set of wheels have been uploaded.
