Hi Anita, Currently, Shapely relies on GEOS for most of its algorithms and that one doesn't seem to have yet been ported from JTS. I've been getting questions about whether Shapely can or should support development of algorithms in Python for use on platforms that won't have GEOS. I don't have immediate plans to deploy Shapely on App Engine (for example), but am interested in scoping this out with potential stakeholders.
