We just published a JOSIS paper on what spatial data science languages have in common and what they still need. Insights from across the R, Python & Julia ecosystems.

QGIS to (Geo)Pandas – part 3

The journey continues: QgsArrowIterator is now merged, making it possible to iterate over QgsFeatures as Arrow batches.

Getting a s***-ton of CSV files as input for spatial analysis can be a pain.

Yes, you can write a quick Python loop in the #QGIS console to load them but it's not a great workflow, imho.

The DuckDB read_csv function has been very convenient for this kind of ETL workflow:

What do you wish Data Scientists knew about spatial?

I'll be at #PyDataParis next week to spread the word
