What is the geopandas bug?
I should've been clearer. explore() is unusable without dependency on matplotlib, mapclassify and folium. This
needs to be added or at least recommended.
See https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/python-geopandas/-/blob/master/geopandas/explore.py#L296
This was making tests choke in another package.
This seems to be an upstream issue, the plotting deps are only included
in requirements-dev.txt not as optional dependencies in pyproject.toml.
And why move mapclassify from the science team?
It is not yet uploaded even to NEW, and the description says:
| mapclassify implements a family of classification schemes for choropleth maps. Its focus is on the determination of
| the number of classes, and the assignment of observations to those classes. It is intended for use with upstream mapping
| and geovisualization packages (see geopandas and geoplot) that handle the rendering of the maps.
This seems a much better fit for GIS.
Or the Python team. But since its upstream is PySAL, the Science Team
seems like a better fit for mapclassify.
Did you read the team policy?
https://debian-gis-team.pages.debian.net/policy/
I did. Interestingly, some people who helped draft it are the ones with whom I work on a daily basis in med and other blends teams.
Have I justified enough to get added now?
In general yes, but I'd rather not have mapclassify in the GIS team.
Please keep that in the science team alongside libpysal.
Kind Regards,
Bas
