Setting up a GeoPandas dev environment using the pandas main branch (Meson Edition)
I’ve previously written a post about how to set up a developer environment for GeoPandas which is based upon the latest commit of pandas on github. With pandas 2.0 (or perhaps a minor patch after), pandas switched to using a meson based build backend - and this updates the instructions accordingly. This post draws from my previous one, plus elements of this post, with some of my own fixes added.
