Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.Shapely is only used IF a shapely geometry is provided by the user when selecting tiles to download, making it an unused dependency in many use cases that do not provide bounding boxes in that format.
Describe the solution you'd like
Deprecate the use of Shapely where possible. Very likely that if modis_tools is being used in a project where Shapely geometries are already being provided, then that project already has Shapely as a dependency and it does not have to be installed for modis_tools as well.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, we could edit setup.py to make shapely purely optional.
