geopandas read_file breaks in fiona open()

Question

I am trying to read-in a shp file and can't seem to do it with the geopandas version 0.2.1. Here is the error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

KeyError: 3002L

I have looked at the issue here and checked that 'id' 3002 exists, which it does as well as use Shapely to validate all of the geometries in the file.

I have another environment with the same versions of geopandas and a different version of fiona(1.5.1) that does work to load in the shp file, the one that doesn't work has fiona (1.7.0). Is it safe to say that this is a package issue with all this info? or am i missing something?

Answer 1

Does the issue present its self with other shapefiles too or just this one? I'm running geopandas 2.1.0 and fiona 1.7.3 and can't reproduce the issue w/ any files I have. Maybe you should try updating fiona?

I like to run this nifty little script every so often. It takes a little while to run but it will update every package you have installed.

import pip
from subprocess import call

for dist in pip.get_installed_distributions():
    call("pip install --upgrade " + dist.project_name, shell=True)
    print (dist.project_name)
