+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.
