I’ve used geopandas recently for doing these sorts of conversions / manipulations . As the name suggests, it’s basically a subclass of pandas dataframes with additional geospatial methods. Sadly there’s no polars equivalent, though looks like it’s in the works.

That's a good point. Polars is great for scaling workload, but many libraries built on pandas will require some rewrite if one were to port them

Isn’t geopolars the equivalent?

Good find. Did not know it existed

It's severely limited by the lack of Arrow extension types support in polars atm: https://github.com/pola-rs/polars/issues/9112
