Refactor out Python #12

Closed mileswwatkins closed 5 years ago

mileswwatkins commented 5 years ago

The Python dependency could be removed, by switching to Node for that shapefile-downloading step. us, which helps with FIPS codes, is available in npm.

Refactoring out Python would help streamline both the Dockerfile and local setup.

Looks like Python is stilll necessary due to mapboxcli, which can only easily be installed via pip. Made a note of this in https://github.com/openstates/openstates-district-maps/blob/master/get-all-sld-shapefiles.py#L3-L5.
