thanks @omsai for this PR, I wonder we could probably also remove this right https://github.com/scverse/spatialdata/blob/main/src/spatialdata/_compat.py#L1 ?
@giovp Indeed; I've dropped that as well.
thank you @omsai , I think it should be fine to not have it backward compatible, would like to have other devs chime in
The requirement pygeos fails to install with python 3.12 with the error described here: https://github.com/pygeos/pygeos/issues/463
The maintainer explains that pygeos is no longer maintained and has been merged into the shapley 2.0 dependency of geopandas. Since version 0.14, geopandas uses shapley instead of pygeos: https://geopandas.org/en/stable/docs/user_guide/pygeos_to_shapely.html
Therefore, the PR drops the unmaintained pygeos and requires geopandas >= 0.14 to ensure the default shapley version is used instead.
