  Description     : Python library for manipulation of carthesian geometric objects

Shapely is a BSD-licensed Python package for manipulation and analysis
of planar geometric objects. It is based on the widely deployed GEOS
(the engine of PostGIS) and JTS (from which GEOS is ported) libraries.
Shapely is not concerned with data formats or coordinate systems, but
can be readily integrated with packages that are.

I intent to maintain this package under the umbrella of the Debian
Python team. This package is introduced as a dependency for FlatCAM (ITP
to come).
