Actually, after looking at the PostGIS code again, I realized how straightforward it really is, and I quickly whipped something up:
http://bitbucket.org/miracle2k/pyutils/changeset/156c60ec88f8/ Feel free to add this to Shapely if you want. I further realized that in my somewhat simplified use case, a simple point.distance(linestring) query would be enough ;) One thing that is now still worrying me is this note on the Shapely site: "There are several upstream issues with GEOS versions 2.2.3 and 3.0.0. The GEOS WKT and WKB writers leak, and so therefore does access of a geometry's *wkt* and *wkb* properties. There are smaller leaks associated with creation of some geometry types." I'm writing a long-running server app, and memory leaks is not something I can just ignore. Is there any information as to which types are affected?
