Seems like your SSL setup isn't happy on Windows. You could *try* running [this script](https://github.com/SciTools/cartopy/blob/master/tools/feature_download.py). Otherwise, the solution is going to be to download the shape files manually and put...
@Sinhika Works completely fine for me on Python 3.8 on my mac and on our Linux and Windows CI, so my best guess is that any SSL problems are related...
@SpacelySpaceSprockets What does this code do on your system? ```python from urllib.request import urlopen fobj = urlopen('https://naciscdn.org/naturalearth/110m/physical/ne_110m_coastline.zip') ``` or how about: ```python from urllib.request import urlopen import ssl fobj =...
I'm not quite sure what the differences are, but there are some more workaround on this [cpython issue](https://bugs.python.org/issue36011).
We should definitely make sure we pin 0.21 to Shapely < 2.
I dug into the doc failure and it's from Matplotlib 3.6: matplotlib/matplotlib#24053.
How did you install Cartopy? Can you check your installation of cartopy? Neither the `conda list` nor the `pip list` you posted shows cartopy installed.
I'd be willing to pay a significant speed penalty (with the hopes of getting it back later) in order to remove the headache that is depending on Shapely while simultaneously...
Based on the traceback, that seems like it's a problem with Shapely. Can you try rolling back to an older version of Shapely and see if that eliminates the error?
That's fine with me.
