Hi, I'm running your code... but above error comming out... I just installed geopandas and fiona...

ValueError: GEOSGeom_createLineString_r returned a NULL pointer

do you know why the error appears?

Usually this means that the LineString is invalid. You should inspect the value of edge_points to see if it's a reasonable input to MultiLineString.
