Another example of built-in dataset? #212

Closed michaeldorman closed 10 months ago

michaeldorman commented 10 months ago

Since geopandas.datasets is deprecated we should probably remove it from the text. However, I don't recall any other built-in dataset in a Python package. Is there anything that comes to mind as replacement of gpd.datasets.get_path('naturalearth_lowres')? Or should we remove the example (perhaps using a built-in dataset from a package isn't very practical anyway, beyond running the examples from package documentation)?

Hi @michaeldorman -- if there is no tradition in geopython to have geodataset packages -- that is fine to remove it in the book.

Sure, this makes sense to me https://github.com/geocompx/geocompy/commit/56cd43eb049cacb7c6fb64df01fe98bf0df4cf71
