shapely version >= 2.0 not supported

[MichaelKarpe]

Shapely >= 2.0 has been allowed following #2829 but is not supported, leading to a very similar error to #1852. Issue is solved by setting shapely < 2.0.

Environment details

• OS type and version: Windows 11
• Python version: python --version 3.9.6
• pip version: pip --version 23.2
• google-cloud-aiplatform version: pip show google-cloud-aiplatform 1.35.0

Steps to reproduce

1. pip install google-cloud-aiplatform
2. from vertexai.language_models import TextEmbeddingModel

Code example

from vertexai.language_models import TextEmbeddingModel

hi @MichaelKarpe, with https://github.com/googleapis/python-bigquery/releases/tag/v3.13.0 and https://github.com/googleapis/python-bigquery/pull/1696, Shapely >= 2.0 should be supported with the Vertex SDK.

I was able to run the following code snippet locally

! pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall google-cloud-aiplatform

import vertexai

from vertexai.language_models import TextEmbeddingModel

Please let us know if you still run into an error.

I'm getting this exception with version 1.39.0, have to downgrade to 1.35.0 (https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/commit/e76abd3901644f99ec6850b35e155d8b2c54008a)

@nayaknishant sorry for the very late reply, but I was actually asking to enforce the constraint due to a bug and not to relax it. Investigating further, I opened https://github.com/googleapis/python-bigquery/issues/1842 that should solve the issue if addressed.

@irfanhabib this may be of interest for you. You should be able to use the latest google-cloud-aiplatform if you specify shapely<2.0.0.
