[Qgis-user] Problems with Shapely instalation, using the Console

[William Kyngesburye]

shapely has been forgotten on my list of things to look at.  I can work on a package.  Since it's essentially an interface to GEOS, I think I'll package it in the GEOS framework.

Note: In Paul Smith's instructions there is no need to separately install GDAL python, that is included in my GDAL framework.
