rtree included in Conda distribution

See original GitHub issue

Hey guys -

Ok, so it’s possible I’m doing something wrong here, but when I run this command:

conda install -c conda-forge/label/gcc7 geopandas python=3.6.8 -n python3.6

I get rtree as a dependency from conda:

    tornado:          5.1.1-py36h14c3975_1000  conda-forge/label/gcc7

I can definitely see value in including rtree, but would it be possible to include a branch without rtree included?

Thanks for any thoughts and feedback on this! Dan

I think it is fine to discuss general packaging / distribution stuff here, as it has more visibility for potentially interested people.

I have been thinking lately about having a “geopandas-base” package on conda-forge that has less dependencies (similarly to how dask and matplotlib also do something like this I think?)

Also fiona would be a possible target for leaving out in a “slim” package+deps.

I’ll try to hammer out a pull request over the next few weeks ™ for a geopandas-base.
